Thank you, Mr. Clinton and Mrs. Albright. I think there are some Clinton-related elements missing from even this timeline.

That is right. This falls at the feet at Clinton. The SOB and Albright failed us here. They can kiss these elections goodbye now. Repubs will hammer it home every chance they have that Clinton gave them the technology for the nuclear power, yet never followed up to make sure they did not enrich uranium. Plus Clinton did nothing of AQ Khan that was giving the NK's nuke plans.

Watch how long it takes the moronic GOP to win a news cycle on this.

They'll let RAT after RAT declare Bush the villain before meekly defending against the lies, instead of getting way out in front of the story with the truth that RAT appeasement and financial payoffs under Carter and Clinton led to this fiasco.

Where the hell are the GOP strategists?

There is an election in mere weeks.

Stop phucking around and start fighting like Warriors - our future depends on your competence.

Mike Chinoy (fmr CNN) is on CNN International right now saying that Clinton was "on the verge" of a "major diplomatic breakthrough" in North Korea when he left office and that the Bush administration was "so suspicious of any thing from the Clinton administration" didn't follow up on it.

Where have we heard that narrative before? The fabled comprehensive strategy for terrorism the Clinton administraion supposedly left Bush who didn't follow up so we got 911?

LOL Didn't I just hear Bill say about his administration, "what was wrong with peace and prosperity?" Well, maybe that it was all fake? Thanks for sure Bill, Maddy and Jimmah. We missed the fall out shelters of our youth! Thanks for "working so hard" to bring them back for us Billy boy!

Exactly right.

Everything rides on November. Zero sense of urgency from these guys.

Great. Then let Clinton and Albright explain the 1994 Agreement publicly--and how it is DIRECTLY responsible for what happened today.

And Elvis is alive.

The Republican's can be found here:

Even if they had this at their disposal:

Clinton's Secretary of State making a toast to Kim Jong Ill.

China Denounces "Brazen" North Korean Nuclear Test

You enabled them, you deserve more of the fallout than you got. Here's hoping that your pet Stalinist regime will continue to bite the hand that feeds it.
