Only the punch line is important. That a Clintonoid said it is just an extra bonus.

He was trying to say that one camp (Bush admin) wants 6-party talks, and another camp (anti-Bush coalition) wants US-NK "talks".

But it didn't come out the way he may have meant to say it.

My answer to you is rather simple but may hold some water.

FBI files.

I think it's safe to assume that Janet Reno provided the Clintons, especially Hitlery, detailed info on all the higher eschelons who worked for the Clinton administration.

...It's a delicate balance. Foreign aid is meant to alleviate suffering, but is used by the dictators for their own aggrandizement. This props up the regime - which should have been allowed to die of natural causes - but that would entail human suffering and so we send in the aid...and so the dictatorship continues to breathe.

here in NM he's made his intentions pretty clear.

I wonder about Richardson's potential....it should be good as an Hispanic governor, but isn't he soft with open borders? If he reversed that position to close them, he coulda been a contender

Dems haven't got anybody else, so yes we better save this gem for future use. One never knows.

There are few Utopians that have misrepresented human nature more than the NYT.

Correct! They are mired in the honey pot of their own liberalism and the wealth that flows from it. It's addictive, for some, to hold views that make life "oh so easy" while at the same time raking in millions. The NYT has cornered the market on the profitable business of telling fools what they want to hear.

While I agree it's immoral if NK gets a nuke, that fault does NOT lie with the Bush administration (for not talking directly)........

I agree AB, this debacle is NOT the fault of the Bush administration, and thanks for this thread and the ping.

It would seem to me the countries closest to NK would be the most threatened. SK, Japan, China, Russia, etc. The only one of those 4 to even have a modicum of decency and brain matter is Japan. I say arm Japan to the teeth, in full view of the idiot running NK, and tell NK we will supply them with as much Tabasco as needed to mix with the nuke stuff they intend on making. They're starving so maybe they can mix it to a composition that is edible.

I don't think they have the capability to hit the U.S. but if they do, make a parking lot of NK. Innocents killed, yeah, but war is hell. I say send this message in a letter, not direct face-to-face, and tell them no reply is necessary.

Oh yeah, how about arming a terrorist nation, etc. I would hope our intelligence is still good enough to trace nuclear material back to the vendor nation and include this in the message about "how many cars do you want to park in that parking lot we will make of your country".

In conclusion, call their bluff. I'm tired of listening to "the world" tell us how to handle this.

/rant off, back to reading, I'm way behind.

I wish I was bright enough to supply solutions to all of the world's international problems. Truth be known it would be nice if we just bombed both North Korea and Iran into the stone age, initiated regime changes in both places and let those two beleagured countries start all over again.

But then reality sets in. We are almost alone in the world today as a last resort for the freedom of a nation. We have to be ever so selective how and where we use our very limited power. North Korea has a standing army of 1,000,000 starving dog and cat eating troops just waiting to stream across the border shooting everything in sight.

For us to attack them would play right into their hands, not to mention the Chinese,who are undoubtedly getting a play by play chuckle out of things.

Yet on the other hand we don't want them sitting with a couple of dozen nukes(thanks to the Clintonistas and fat maddy),so it's a tough problem to deal with.

As N.Korea's neighbors arm themselves the problem may go away or we may face Little Kim's attack on the Japanese sea once more, who knows. It's a tough call and few out there are making any tough calls these days. As for iran,(notice both countries are run by psycho/wack-jobs)our best hope remains dissension from within possibly leading to regime change. Many of the locals, who are not yet starving, are dissatisfied with the mullah rule and hopefully one day regime change will occur there as well. Truth is as much as wee would like to be policeman to the world, we don't have the resources or the will.

@@@@@

These posers on TV may bloviate all they want about our "talks" with NK, but China is calling the tune. If China did not want Lil Kim to launch any missiles, no missiles would be launched. Period. China is watching our responses intently.

When does the Clinton-protecting stop?

It doesn't.

Early in the week, FoxNews had a female commentator (I think she was a former State Department or some such). She blamed the problems with N Korea, on GHWB, skipping over BC, and continued with GWB. Her selective memory was amazing. She didn't even try to hide her slanted statements. The Host (John Scott, I think) let her comment without interruption. The broadcast didn't even have an opposition commentator.

The Clinton people are out in force, both to protect the former and to pave the way for the next Clinton or Rodham.

"...fight for the "rights" of murderers in our own courts;..."

Even murderers' rights are protected by the Constitution. As a former defense attorney, I fought for the rights of criminals but NOT to lie for them. I ALWAYS told my clients I could NOT make them 'not guilty'.

Is Biden hiding out today after his foot-in-the-mouth comment re: American Indians in New Hampshire...followed by another re: Italians? He just can't hep [sic] it, can he? LOL

On the news this morning, there was coverage of Biden yuking it up in Iraq. I suspect these photo ops will be turning up in future "Biden for President" campaign literature.

It has been frequently pointed out that President Bush plays poker, not checkers. Two destroyers w/missile destroying capability are now near N. Korea...imo an answer to the question of 'what can we do?'

I saw that spokesman for Maddie Albright, and was astonished that she could say what she said with a straight face. Besides being part of a full court press on protecting the Clinton regime, she displayed that they believe in self-hypnosis.

Probably is, the concept is the same, I have read so much this week it's all blurring together.But thanks for clarifying that.

anita, I remember that incident but I can't remember the comment. He has been increasingly vocal on his anti-war position the last few weeks, and I seem to remember something along that order.

Maybe someone commented on it last week.
