Reid: Investigate Bush Over North Korea Nukes
CNSNews ^ | October 09, 2006 | Nathan Burchfiel

Posted on 10/09/2006 12:53:50 PM PDT by AT7Saluki

(CNSNews.com) - Reacting to the announcement that North Korea successfully conducted a nuclear test, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) called Monday for an investigation of the Bush administration's "failed North Korea policies."

In a release, Reid said that "on the Bush Administration's watch, North Korea's arsenal has grown to as many as a dozen bombs," because he said Bush is "distracted by Iraq and paralyzed by internal divisions."

Calling the test "reckless and counterproductive," Reid called on Bush to "rally the international community and ... directly speak with the North Koreans so they understand we will not continue to stand on the sidelines."

Reid also called for a "full review" of the Bush administration's "failed North Korea policy," the development of "recommendations to change course," and direct communication with the North Koreans about "the consequence of their actions and the administration's new course."

Bush's administration is unable to do anything about North Korea because the UN as well as Congress are unwilling to do anything but make empty gestures and ask North Korea to stop making nukes.

If you ask the Democrats how they would address the problem they talk about one on one talks and offering incentives.

In other words they want to give a murderous dictator gifts in exchange for his promise that he won't develop nukes. We tried that. They took the gifts, and kept working on the nukes.

The only solution to North Korea's government is to remove it. We've tried isolating them to limit their ability to harm others and the people of North Korea have paid an appalling price for that, and all it has done is delayed their progress on attaining nukes somewhat.

The UN has proved time and time again that they aren't willing to actually take action. They are useless in dealing with such autocrats, because the first thing they do it take anything that might force a concession out of the autocrat off the table in the negotiations.

Therefore they go into "negotiations" where they have already made it impossible for them to attain what they want from the negotiation. The only thin the negotiations determine is how much they will give the autocrat in order to get some form of nonbinding agreement which they will declare to be a success.

Bush was smart enough NOT to give in to Kim Jong Mentally Ill's extortion tactics.... the feeble Dums, under Slick Clintoon, sent the little Korean freak hundreds of millions to get his nuke program started. Oh yeah, Reid thinks that we don't know this. I forgot.

Sounds like Reid is panicking.

Dems thought they can exploit the Foley scandal and ride it to the election, but then there is the stark reminder that the world is a dangerous place.

Reid and the Dims can't say that NK doesn't have WMD, because they do, and they don't know how to deal with NK. Hence the screeching.

Simply ask Kim Jong-il: “Which current or former US president do you give the most credit and thanks to for North Koreas nuclear program?”

I just heard hillary weigh in on WABC radio news. The phony bit%&# was marching in the Columbus Day parade. They stuck a microphone in her face and she couldn't resist blaming North Korea's nuke testing on the "Bush Administration's failed polciies".

Hitlery said the very same thing as Reid did today! Talk about idiocy, but it's the RAT talking point of the day. They refuse to remember who it was that made North Korea into a nuclear bomb maker. How could the "smartest woman in the world" forget that unavoidable fact? Is she senile already?

We need another investigation? Good night! I could do their investigation for free. It will take no time to show that it was Jimmey Carter's failed foreign policy and B.J. Clinton's sales of technology to the ChiComs (for money laundered donations to the DemonRAT party)that compromised this nation's security.

The Democrats firmly believe that the American people are stupid. That is why they will fail at this election once again.

I hope you're right.
The polls are kinda scarey.

...and the people of the US called for a drug test for little Senator Reid.

The polls also said that Kerry was the winner. Pay no attention.

There's another possibility:
According to a co-worker and wannabe boss, with a brand spanking new Minnesota Professional Engineer License - and a barking moonbat as well, claims that the North Korean nuke was engineered by Karl Rove to distract the publick from the Foley scandal. Who knows what those wascally Wepublicans are up to!

Minnesota is a looney bin!

Hey, "dirty Harry" is just disavowing all politics and doing what he thinks is best for the country.

Believe me?

I have a bridge for sale.

Reid must be getting senile.

He's a liberal.

Getting senile can be considered a step in the right direction. ; )
