I've already told you Hans Brix, we have not weapons of mass destruction.
How many years has the north had to prepare for this?
Not bad,not bad at all.
Kind of like "On a day when Winston Churchill publicly disagreed with President Truman's choice of wardrobe, Truman accepted Japan's unconditional surrender". It's that absurd.
Now that's a showing of appreciation for ya'!
And every freaking Democrat has been telling Little Bush how to fix it........
Now - on Little Bush’s watch — are we nearing the defanging of a starving North Korea?
Maybe..... Unless we put another pansy Democrat in the White House — and more of the bastards in Congress.

Lack of information, and ignorance, are the building blocks for wider naivete.
How many times do we have to be fooled.
True regime change was the ONLY credible fashion to correct this situation. It is becoming more and more of a distant, pipe dream, as State Department appeasement takes complete control. You couldn't MAKE this stuff up.
As our Freeper Emeritus on Korean Issues, with unchallengeable credentials and understanding of DPRK tactics, history, methodology and the "big picture" on Korean things, we need some additional input and balance on this.
Do you believe it? Can you demand more intrusive inspection? N. Korea has thousands of underground facilities. Many are not known to outsiders. Who knows what they stored in those bunkers and caves. There are extensive underground facilities in Jagang, Yanggang, N. and S. Hamkyong Province. All military related, munition production, missile production, underground military base, and nuclear facilities.
Can America pinpoint which nuke facilities are where and what nuclear material(warhead, component) are located where? Can U.S. demand the inspection of all suspected sites?
Is U.S. so sure that N. Korea would not resort to extreme form of hide-and-seek or shell game? If so, it is utterly naive.
If U.S. knows N. Korea is up to no good and demand more transparency, what would U.S. do if N. Korea would threaten to pull the plug out of inspection? Can U.S. call the bluff? Or does it cave and stop short of real inspection?
What U.S. is doing in E. Asia is rather simple. It cannot economically pressure S. Korea and China to rein in N. Korea because it will ruin god-d*mn inflated financial portfolio in U.S.. however small willingness Bush has to get tough on these appeasing players, I suspect it was all but wiped out by multinationals and financial institutions, scared of financial shock it will generate.
U.S. lives on precariously maintained financial bubble which is really sensitive to any non-trivial international conflict. Many get their fill from bubble-generated income, extremely risk-averse, due to precarious nature of financial market. This also creates dangerous complacency to play down brewing national security crisis. The extent some Americans go to justify this completely failed policy is beyond me.
