They already had a nuclear weapons program well established.. the deal was to build reactors that couldn't be use for producing nuclear weapons for free if they discontinued their program.. they did not.. we got shammed..stuff happens...
You don't know that they already had nuclear weapons well established before billy c and jimmy c GAVE the N Korean's the information and materials necessary to build nuclear reactors.
Do you know if that dimbulb, greedy arsed, sickening, unpatriotic, slug of a human being known as bill c and his co-conspirator in the treaty deal with N Korea BOTHERED to build in safeguards such as the need to VERIFY that the N Korean's were not USING the tech for miltary weapons of mass destruction? Enquiring minds want to KNOW if billy c loved our nation enough to demand that the treaty he and jimmie devised with the N Koreans be VERIFIABLE? Do ya know? Enquiring minds and all....because in the field of NUCLEAR WEAPONRY-stuff does not JUST HAPPEN. Sit does, of course. But not weaponry.
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?
