New York Sen. Hillary Clinton is blaming President Bush for the fact that North Korea can now hit the U.S. with nuclear missiles - after a top intelligence official told her Thursday that Kim Jong Il's ICBM's can now reach the Northwestern U.S.
"They couldn't do that when George Bush became president, and now they can," Mrs. Clinton complained to the New York Times.
She called the nuke revelation - offered by Defense Intelligence Agency chief
Vice Adm. Lowell Jacoby in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee - "The first confirmation, publicly, by the administration that the North Koreans have the ability to arm a missile with a nuclear device that can reach the United States."
The top Democrat pointed her finger at the Bush administration despite a 1999 Congressional finding that North Korea first obtained the capacity to develop nuclear weapons under her husband's administration, which actually gave Kim Jong Il nuclear technology in exchange for the promise that he would not make weapons.
A report compiled at the time by the House North Korea Advisory Group warned:
"If the [Clinton administration's] 1994 Agreed Framework is implemented and two [U.S. Light Water Reactors] are eventually built and operated in North Korea, the reactors could produce close to 500 kilograms of plutonium in spent reactor fuel each year; enough for nearly 100 bombs annually if North Korea decides to break its obligations and reprocess the material."
The Advisory group also blasted the Clinton administration for making North Korea "the largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid in the Asia-Pacific region."
"In an astonishing reversal of nine previous U.S. administrations," the report said, "the Clinton-Gore administration, in 1994, committed not only to provide foreign aid for North Korea, but to earmark that aid primarily for the construction of nuclear reactors worth up to $6 billion."
The advisory group also warned that North Korea would soon be able to hit the U.S. with ICBM's - and blamed the Clinton administration for facilitating Pyongyang's progress.
I don't know what is scarier: The fact that this disgusting, self serving, hypocritical, evil beast wants to become president, or the fact that there are enough people in this country who support her that it may actually happen.
Look on the bright side; if they take out Seattle proper, Washington becomes a blue state.
Oh Boy, the election of 2008 is going to be great fun with Hillary as the Democrat candidate. We thought we had fun exposing Kerry for what he is, but exposing Hillary promises to be more fun than we ever had with John Boy.
Hillary over here is 63 and she has seniority!"
FYI, the following is a true story: during the Clinton years, an at-that-time neighbor of mine who is an attractive, but lesbian woman, was invited to the White House as part of a particular charity-support group (non-gay related) that was visiting Washington. When I asked my neighbor what Hillary Billary was like, her response was, "Very friendly....in fact a bit TOO friendly". V-e-r-y interesting I thought.....
And we stopped at the 38th parallel ... why?
In light of what her husband's administration allowed to occur in North Korea on his watch, for her to make such comments indicates that she is either collosally stupid or she has the biggest set of brass balls in D.C.
I would bet on the latter to go along with a world's worth of arrogance with it...
At the right time, strategically, we are going to have to hit her hard, hard, hard, and expose this evil creature for what she is. She can't become POTUS. Never has there been such a vile political figure like her in the USA.
Wasn't it Billary who sold the nuke technology to Jung-Il, and then looked the other way as he tested a missile over Japan?
She really isn't this stupid - is she? And just think - she's gotta puke these types of comments for the next three years...
Speaking of which, a related graphic from the poster Mr. Mulliner:
I'm a woman and am not offended. For some women like the Hildabeast...no other word but that one applies.
The mistake was made at Yalta, when Stalin was offered an occupation zone in Korea as part of the inducement to declare war on Japan after the war in Europe was over. The USSR declared war on Japan on August 8, 1945. Six days later Japan agreed to surrender. For that, the Communists got half of Korea. The question is, who in the U.S. team at Yalta thought this was a good idea?
That doesn't bother me much. I truly believe she hasn't a snowball's chance.
What is frightening however is that she is correct ... the NC's couldn't .... until now.
And while you are looking... notice the trade volume data. Seems to me that the trade volumes today have almost doubled compared to volume during BJClinton's term.
Facts.. those pesky little buggers!
As for the economy... both the democrats and the GOP are responsible for the economic conditions that are just now starting to be felt. Medical, research, engineering, accounting, legal, technology... all moving offshore. There will be no competition with people in another country when they receive free university level eduction and require less then US$500/month salary for 60 hour weeks. (this is not conjucture)
What industry will your grandkids work in? Odds are, it'll require a paper hat.
We are talking New Gingrich here, but that's on another thread. Newt could debate her sorry ass off.
