Implications:

Japan and South Korea, it's time for you to go nuclear.

China and Russia, thanks for your help -- anyone who considers these two "allies" of any use to us is kidding themselves

, and I eagerly await the next Clinton performance of "it wasn't my fault."

Also, let's see if this congressional election will really turns on something as earth-shattering as Foley's instant messages. I'm sure that's what soccer moms will have foremost on their minds on election day.

If we do nothing but talk through the UN, we are in serious trouble. It's only a matter of time before NK nukes get into the hands of crime bosses and terrorists, especially under the economic pressure of sanctions. We went after Iraq because it was the easiest military target of the the three axis-of-evil countries. NK and Iran were clearly the bigger threats.

That timeline doesn't mention one whit about Der Schleimeister "giving" the NK's nuke technology as long as they promised to not do bad things with the technology.

I remember that decision like it was yesterday. I knew how dumb it was.

Thats the AP for ya. Hope ol Slick gets asked about this part of his legacy to ............

Great post.

The Press has GOT to cover the 1994 Agreement--and how that Agreement (thanks to Bill Clinton) is DIRECTLY responsible for what happened tonight.

We need a new thread JUST to discuss the 1994 Agreement and Clinton's CULPABILITY.

Which is pretty much what the Europeans and Russia are proposing for Iran.

That's right. Appeasement and diplomacy. It is impossible to deal with liars. No good ever comes of it.

This is at our doorstep.

Also, this will obviously further embolden an already bold IRI.

Have you read this?
