I just think he doesn't want to be anti-American in any way, so he's crediting them with good intentions-- that he says the Clinton approach was wrong and the Bush approach is right is good enough for me.

This is quite natural for Korean language contexts (or other Asian languages) for that matter. Westerners' skin usually crawls when they face contradictions in a single sentence or paragraph. He was just setting the tone in a polite way about Clinton, then goes on to show that actually they were most foolish and dangerous in their naive dealings with the DPRK. You don't need to read it so literally.
