BREAKING - South Koreans this morning are reading in their newspapers that North Korea
undertook a nuclear test in the last three months.
Is this the reason for the admission of breaking the Agreement yesterday?

According to Democrat congressmen defending Clinton, we wrote them a check. We gave them MONEY for them to buy food, etc. And what did they do with the MONEY we gave them?

Check the nature of the deal. The money goes into accounts which can only be used to purchase food and medicine. The idea is to give the N. Korean government maximum flexibility when deciding what to buy while allowing us to know exactly what they were buying.

I doubted the former, I can't fathom the latter.

Let's put it this way, Clinton sold secrets to China, China gave them to NK. Whats the difference ?

Explain yourself. I am too stupid to understand why you have asked me to research the nature of tech exchange. My expectations would be that ever deal is different.

But I DO know that bill clinton and bernie schwartz of Loreal conspired to trade tech easily converted to MIRV tech for missile guidance to the CHINESE, after putting all exports UNDER the auspices of the DEPT OF COMMERCE and AWAY from the Dept of Defense (don't you just want to slap the living you know what out of certain people?) and in my mind....(of course Bernie donated LOTS of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to the dem party and big bill as a part of the deal, while selling big chunks of his inventory to the Chinese) THAT IS TREASON.

So I ALREADY know that bill clinton dispises AMERICA and could care less about our FUTURE or our SECURITY (except, of course, the legacy part involved with his nothingness).

SO a shoddy deal with N Korea seems not only FEASIBLE but standard MO for billy clinton.

And jimmy carter....he is simply unwilling to face the facts. Always has been.

How much do you want to bet that before all this shakes out we will see a Congressional inquiry as to WHAT and WHEN the Bush administration knew about this...before or after the Iraq War Resolution. I have already seen Dem Congressmen blaming this on Bush.

This story is bunk. There are too many nations who can detect a Nuclear test and this would of been "Breaking News" the day of the test.

Unless it was an underground test....

I posted this earlier and thought I would post it here since you just about took the words out of my mouth :-)

John Kasik was on Hannity and Colmes tonight and he made some great points that can't be ignored. he said that we should take a long hard look at the way Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton handled N. Korea in 1994 and let their complete and utter failure serve as a lesson of what happens when you appease and negotiate with dictators and rogue nations.

I can give Jimmy Carter a pass on this deal, only because I remember all to well what a spineless worm he was when he was the POTUS. Jimmy Carter has a long history of refusing to confront evil and licking the boots of almost every dictator on the planet. It's just how he is.

Bill Clinton on the other hand probably knew quite well what N. Korea was up to and more than likely accepted campaign contributions in the form of "Straw Donors" to 1996 Clinton/Gore Re-Election campaign. There is no doubt in my mind that we have yet to see just how much damage Bill Clinton did to this country.

There is also no doubt that Carter is an invertebrate who couldn't stand up to his shadow and his refusal to come to the aid if the Shaw of Iran and his inability to stand up to Iatolla Khomieni in 1979 when a little known group of finatics managed to take over Embassy and hold our people hostage for 444 days with literly NO response from Carter. By his refusal to stand up to Iran is what gave birth to terrorism as we know it today. Never before did religous finatics have so much attention paid to them. This gave them power and Jimmy Carter failed us.

God help us if we don't vote these limp wristed liberals out of power for good. To listen to Alan Colmes made me want to squeeze a round off into the TV.

Kinda hard to hide an underground nuclear test..

That would depend directly on the type and size of device used.

North Korea okay I know it is Communist country is this same country that people are starving to death HELLO their children are dying of malnutrion where do they get all these money

----------------------------------------

It makes no difference now. With nuclear weapons they will be able to blackmail the world, and particulary Sout Korea, into giving them all the food they want. South Korea has no defense against the North's combination of ruthlessness and nuclear weapons. It can be wiped out in 15 minutes. It will be forced to capitulate.

There was supposed to be an 'inspection' program put in place within 5 years. I hardly think that giving them the technology for nuclear reactors and financial aid in 1994 can be blamed on Reagan and Bush Sr. What information do you have to support that assertion?
