Hillary: Bush Wrong on North Korea Nuke Crisis

Democratic Party presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton warned on Friday that President Bush's decision not to negotiate with North Korea over that country's nuclear weapons program is a mistake.

"I know the administration has taken the position that they will not, under any circumstances, negotiate," Clinton told ABC Radio Network News. "You know, I believe that you can be very tough, you can enforce America's interests and values while still talking."

Mrs. Clinton did not comment on the disparity between her own advice to keep negotiating and her husband's recent revelation that he threatened to bomb North Korea in 1994 in order to get them to abandon plans for a nuclear weapons program.

"In 1994 we literally threatened to attack and planned to attack North Korea if they didn't end their nuclear weapons program at that time," the ex-president told a California audience in November.

Despite Pyongyang's increasingly hostile rhetoric towards the America and a capacity to strike the U.S. with nuclear weapons developed under the $4 billion aid deal Mr. Clinton negotiated, he too urged the Bush White House to keep negotiating.

"I don't believe North Korea wants to drop a bomb on us," he told the audience at the University of California's Davis campus. "I don't even think they want to sell the bomb to somebody else. I think they're screaming for the world to say they still matter and to pay a lot of attention to them and go ahead and work through the remaining steps to try to figure out how they can transition into a more modern relationship with the rest of the world."

Neither Mr. or Mrs. Clinton has been asked why the Clinton administration turned a blind eye towards evidence that North Korea had resumed their nuclear weapons program as early as 1999. (See: Clinton Deal Gave N. Korea 100-Nuke-Per-Year Capacity)

The wife of the architect of the current mess in North Korea is in NO position to criticize the methods of the person who inherited this mess. Put a sock in it, Hillary.

[hobbes1]

It would appear that the Mrs. agrees with Neville.

You know, I wonder sometimes if i sound like a member of the tinfoil hat crowd, but does it not seem that the entire Clinton Administration Foreign Policy, was to in effect, lessen the Military Superiority of the U.S. in an effort to force us to deal with the two remaining Communist powers on their terms....

She's really PO'd that Bill didn't fix this problem on his watch; it creates an inevitable campaign issue that she can't walk away from by pretending that she wasn't in the loop.

HELLary could save herself a lot of time by just taping a general "Bush is wrong" speech to be aired following any statement or action by the administration.

One, they NEVER mattered.

Two, if North Korea truly wants "a more modern relationship with the rest of the world", here's RobFromGa's advice:

HOLD ELECTIONS, START FEEDING YOURSELF, GET RID OF YOUR NUKES, ACT CIVILIZED!

When I see $#!+ like this, all I can ask myself is, "Who in the top echelons of the media does this traitor have the goods on?" It's the only possible reason that they even ask for her opinion - they're being blackmailed into asking, creating a false "relevance."
