In a preview of her strategy for handling terrorist states, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is urging a brand new aid package for North Korea in the hope of persuading brutal dictator Kim Jong Il to scuttle his nuclear weapons program.
In a Washington Post op-ed piece co-authored with Sen. Carl Levin on Tuesday, Mrs. Clinton blamed President Bush for bungling the nuclear face-off. "While the [Bush] administration wrangled internally about whether to negotiate seriously with North Korea, Pyongyang was using the time to break out as a nuclear power," she complained. "Indeed, in February the North Koreans declared that they have a 'nuclear weapons arsenal.'"
Hillary suggested that her husband's approach had been much more successful, noting that "North Korea has apparently used the past five years to become a nuclear weapons state" and now has "many times the number of nuclear weapons it did before the Bush administration took office."
Mrs. Clinton recommended that President Bush follow the example set by his predecessor, and pledge to give North Korea a massive aid package.
"Seriousness is demonstrated by spelling out a package to the North Koreans that addresses their fundamental need for economic assistance," she insisted. "There is a precedent for this," Hillary said, claiming President Clinton's aid giveaway under the so-called Agreed Framework "froze the North Korean plutonium-based nuclear program for nine years."
A 1999 Congressional analysis found, however, that the North Koreans began breaking their word almost immediately - and by the late 1990s had resumed the production of nuclear weapons.
In 2004, Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright explained that she and her colleagues had been tricked by Kim Jong Il.
"What they were doing, as it turns out, they were cheating," Albright admitted to NBC's "Meet the Press."
They wouldn't have any nuclear capabilities if it weren't for this b*tch and her husband.
....and Kim's drinking buddy, Madeline.
The Dems must know that their electorate is stupid. We knew the North Koreans were cheating as early as 1999 yet we kept paying them!
The RNC should name North Korean missiles the Clinton-Dongs in his honor. I don't know why they don't respond?
Kim Jung mentallyIl was happy to appear with Madame Notsobright because it's rare that he meets somebody who is shorter and fatter than him.
Doesn't she want them to be able to vote in the '08 presidential election, too? Why do we have these incessant press releases from this harridan?
Why are these problems so simple for some people like the Senator?
Perfect country for her to be president of

Holy Crap!!! This woman is either a friggin' totalitarian, communist lover or the dumbest creature that walks upright. Restating her position, "Just repeat the policy of appeasement and bribery that my incompetent husband's administration followed and things will be all right." This is typical of a big government socialist however. They have no problem throwing good money (as long as it's not theirs) after bad in a vain attempt to justify their failures.
Hmmmm, interesting timing. Did she get her marching orders from the PRC on her trip?
Hey! You stole my line! :)
WHAAATTT???!!? No proposal for "midnight basketball" or gays in their military? This can't be a "Clinton" proposal.
To Turn Off Sarcasm....Press 1 Now...If You Need Instructions In Korean....Press 2 Now.
JEDI
Stop with the ad hominem attacks...
As everyone (including Michael Moore) knows, Madeline Albright IS the sexiest person on earth.
Only because it was an EXCELLENT line! And it is the truth!!!
Didn't her last administration try this crap? She'll never learn. Can't wait to see her new health care initiative.
Hillary has never been the sharpest knife in the drawer, but blunt knives are just as dangerous. The witch is hoping people will forget what she and her husband did with North Korea as co-presidents.
Yeah, well next time I expect a $5 royalty payment. :)
The eight most terrifying words in the English language are, "Hi, I'm Hillary and I'm here to help."
She's counting on the stupidity of millions of Americans who still think she and Bubba are the bee's knees, and that GWB is Hitler. The lamesteam media won't call her on anything she blathers either, and she knows it.
