"This is not a replay of 1993 and 1994," Kelly said at a news conference after meeting South Korean Foreign Minister Choi Sung-hong.

I love that statement!

Not to mention that the US taxpayer provides fully half of the food eaten by the North Koreans. Talk about supporting those who would destroy you.

Since 1995, the United States has provided 67 percent of all food donations through WFP [United Nations World Food Program] for North Korea or 1.2 million metric tons of food worth over $425 million.

North Korea pledged to dismantle its nuclear weapons program in return...

Does this mean we get our money back?

[Dog Gone]

Clinton also lobbied Bush to enter into a deal with North Korea that would have paid them NOT to sell arms or technology. Bush declined.

So, here's my concern Bushbots, and it's strategic:

Kosovo, Iraq, North Korea, Afghanistan, Colombia, Taiwan, Indonesia, the Phillipines... are we going to have enough personnel, munitions, and supplies and still "provide for the common defense"?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

That is a good question!

Are we going to feel some pain in our everyday life from the requirement for resources? YES!

Can we do it? YES!

[Mr. K]

This was perfect timing. Just after x42 said yet ANOTHER dumbA$$ comment about how peaceful things were under his watch, we find out N. Korea jerked him just like Monica.

And apparently W. has had this proof for a little while, I hope the 'toon learned to keep his big fat trap shut (but I doubt it)

Does anyone here NOT believe the 'toon wants to be head of the UN? Kofe Anon had better watch his back, he seems to be another 'useful idiot' the toon can easily outsmart and replace.

And just picture that slime ball at the U.N. podium: "Now Ah am a U.S. citizen, and so it is with a heavy heart I call upon my own country to follow the rules of the UN..." (i.e. bow to his rule as GLOBAL leader...)

[w.t.sherman]

The US should stop all aid, including food, to the North Koreans. Thanks Jimmy and Bill!

Does anyone here NOT believe the 'toon wants to be head of the UN?

That is scary. And you've hit the nail on the head. Maybe now we know why he's been so busy lately sucking up overseas.

[thatdewd]

are we going to have enough personnel...

We're not spread as thin as the media makes it sound. If I remember right, just a couple of weeks ago Clinton was reminding the Germans (or somebody) that they had more troops in Afghanistan than we did. Our 'regular' soldiers are being concentrated you know where, while we only have small groups of 'special' troops in those other places. The media just wants us to think we're spread too thin.

[StormEye]

"Kelly said that the isolated, impoverished North's best way to resume dialogue with Washington to improve ties and win badly needed aid was first to give up its newly revealed nuclear program."

Does this guy Kelly really believe what he says? What makes him think that North Korea will readily give up the nukes it spent a great deal of money and resources developing so that it can have "improved ties" with America? Sure North Korea will take our food and financial aid and laugh at stupid Americans like Mr. Kelly all the way to the bank.

[Dog]

We can do it..

Just remember who left all these time bombs....for Bush to clean up....give him time.

[ex-Texan]

This statement is too nice, far too gentle, and too civilized ..... North Korea will misinterpret it to mean "take your sweet time responding to our anger .... delay, delay, delay .... immitate Saddam..."

We had better send them a secret message by courier, to wit:

"Give up all you nukes .... stop all planned technology transfers ... or learn to glow in the dark!

KAAAAABOOM !

My preference is that we do the heavy lifting, then turn these third world sh!t-holes over to NATO and / or the UN.

BTW, the Brits announced they are pulling troops out of Kosovo. That's a good thing!

Yep, we [the U.S. taxpayer] have been paying a fanatical communist dictator to build nukes. When will the madness end?

[anniegetyourgun]

Welcome to FR.

The strategy needs to be different in differing regions. In the case of N.K., there are neighboring countries who have an interest in this new development and are not supportive of the regime. The same cannot be said about Iraq (with perhaps the exception of the Iranian viper next door who would like to swallow Iran). This and many other reasons call for a different strategy.

Now, if you came to bash the Prez because you think he's just a (fill in the blank) Hitler, dumb frat boy, drunk, smirking chimp, a bloodthirsty cowboy, or some other tired old term, we probably won't get much further.

[Man of the Right]

The fact North Korea is America's largest aid recipient in Asia is ridiculous. Cut off all aid. If North Korea lashes out, destroy the regime.
