Axis of stupidity (North Korea)Ann Coulter

Robert Scheer wrote in the Los Angeles Times... Throwing North Korea into the mix was an obvious scam, Scheer said, because, "North Korea is a tottering relic of a state whose nuclear operation was about to be bought off under the skilled leadership of the South Korean government when Bush jettisoned the deal."

This man is mentally ill.

Bush, it seems, had somehow provoked the North Koreans to build nuclear weapons by being mean to them.

Moreover, he did this in 1994, back when he was running for his first term as governor of Texas. You can just picture the discussion back in November 1994 inside the North Korean Politoburo: "Hey, what if this W. guy gets to be President someday? We'd better break our treaty and get started building nukes, just in case!"

Well, maybe you can't picture that. But apparently, the NY Times can.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Hey, Clinton retroactively increased taxes, who's to say W couldn't have retroactively caused nuclear proliferation?

Bttt

And then in October 2002, the North Koreans admitted that immediately after signing Clinton's 1994 "peace" agreement, they had set to work building nuclear weapons.

This is all you really need to know about the Korean peace deal. It never existed in the first place.

A bunch of typically naive, Liberal Neville Chamberlains-


Peace For Our Time
by Neville Chamberlain



The following is the wording of the printed statement that Neville Chamberlain waved as he stepped off the plane on 30 September, 1938 after the Munich Conference had ended the day before:


"We, the German Führer and Chancellor, and the British Prime Minister, have had a further meeting today and are agreed in recognizing that the question of Anglo-German relations is of the first importance for our two countries and for Europe.
We regard the agreement signed last night and the Anglo-German Naval Agreement as symbolic of the desire of our two peoples never to go to war with one another again.
We are resolved that the method of consultation shall be the method adopted to deal with any other questions that may concern our two countries, and we are determined to continue our efforts to remove possible sources of difference, and thus to contribute to assure the peace of Europe."


Chamberlain read the above statement in front of 10 Downing St. and said:
"My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time...
Go home and get a nice quiet sleep."

From today's Page Six column in the NY Post:

THERE was something missing in the announcement on the New York Times' Web site that David Shipley is the new editor of the paper's op-ed page. While the Times noted that Shipley, 39, had been editor of the New Republic and then a senior speechwriter for President Clinton, it failed to mention he is the husband of "The Beauty Myth" author Naomi Wolf - who made headlines in 1999 when it was learned she had been advising Al Gore on how to become president. For $15,000 a month, she told Gore he had to wear earth tones and become an alpha-male.

Is there any wonder that we question the Times' opinion on anything?

When rehashing the Clintons' diplomacy with North Korea don't forget the role played by brother Roger. He made Billy Carter's overtures to Libya look good.

The Ministry of Truth blows another one.

They knew old Kim was nuts when Clinton inked the deal.

The Left are historical dreamers, ignoramuses and dilettantes. ;^)

Free, thanks for posting the Chamberlain statement. Very apropos. TLB, thanks for posting another fine Ann Coulter piece. It sounds like we have several candidates for what I'll call the Maxwell Smart Award ("missed it by that much"). How likely is it that these nominees will write mea culpa articles?

Thanks for the photo Bulldog, I was beginning to worry...no ANN photo in 9 posts!

[Cuttnhorse]

OOPS...that would be 11 posts.

[BullDog108]

You're welcome.

I got tired of reminding folks of the FRC 18.47 subsection 6 (FreeRepublic Code) rules regarding posting Ann's material, and so now I just fulfill the obligation whenever seeing an Ann post. ;^)

Liberals never admit to being wrong about anything they say. Truth to a Liberal, is like a crucifix to a vampire.

Stupid North Koreans. Too dumb to read McCauliff's DNC talking points. Blew the whole charade right there.

[Teacher317]

The Clinton administration promised North Korea 500,000 tons of fuel oil annually and $4 billion to construct a pair of nuclear reactors for "electricity"; in exchange, North Korea agreed to abandon its nuclear weapons program.

So, just to clarify...

• Clinton gave them billions in fuel annually, and two nuclear reactors... in exchange, he wanted them to promise not to build nukes (which, of course, you need nuclear reactors to build). Liberals fail to see the paradox, and call Republicans fools for opposing the idea.
• The North Koreans admit that they immediately began rebuilding their program anyway, so that we gave billions for nothing. Liberals hail this as a major diplomatic victory.
• Liberals in America think nuclear reactors or evil and dangerous, and we can't build any here... but they applauded Clinton for giving two of them to the sweet lambs in North Korea.
• Liberals in America think nuclear weapons are evil, and should be banished... but they think that Bush is evil for telling North Korea not to build nukes (apparently because Clinton naively didn't)
• Liberals in America think that Clinton's actions (getting taken advantage of by North Korea, giving billions in exchange for nothing) were a sign of greatness and peace-making (when they used the deal to catapult their nuclear program)... and yet decry Bush as evil for pointing out that North Korea has broken the rules, to which the innocent lambs in North Korea have threatened war and nuclear attack if they are punished in any way.

Have I missed anything?

Have I missed anything?

No, I think you summed it up pretty well.

USA Today sniffed that there was no axis because, "The countries have more differences than similarities." Koreans don't even look like Iranians.

Compared to the way the Japanese and Germans resembled each other, who would have thought?
