[history]
While the world prepares to disarm Iraq of chemical and biological arms, by force if necessary, it does nothing as a potentially larger disaster unfolds in North Korea -- loose nukes.
News reports indicate that North Korea has begun to move fuel rods containing six bombs' worth of plutonium from its nuclear facility at Yongbyon, where it also announced yesterday it is restarting its reactor. For eight years, since 1994, that plutonium has been stored at Yongbyon where it could be seen by on-site inspectors and, if necessary, entombed by an air strike of precision bombs. Now it is being trucked away, perhaps to one of North Korea's many caves, where it will be difficult to find or destroy.

You can't solve a problem with the same minds that created it.
To: SJackson
There is a fundamental contradiction at the heart of this advice.
a) The US has to act immediately with precision bombs, before the fuel rods are taken away.
b) The US has to placate an appeasement-minded South Korean government and get them on our side before it acts.
Well, which is it?

Advice from the guys who ENCOURAGED thier BOSS to ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN.My advice to these clowns is STFU and let the adults handle it.
To: SJackson
Where were these clowns in '94 before North Korea had nukes? The Clintonians are trying to pull a reprise of the Bobby Kennedy-the-folks-who-started-the-war-reposition-themselves-as-its-leading-critics-when-it-becomes-unpopular schtick. Won't work. The previous policy was made in Bill's Oval Office. We should use it to hang Bill & Hitlery.

Advice?
Hows about we call a spade a bloody shovel?
And call this crap what it is, too:
Hypocracy from the treasonous co-serial-rapist sons of bitches who CAUSED it to happen.

Where were these clowns in '94 before North Korea had nukes?Creating a kinder, gentler, more tolerant military. That was the problem as they saw it.

While we are stomping Iraq flat, we need to pop N. Korea also. While we're at it...let the Saudis know that they are not that far dawn the list.

I wonder if the label of "axis" isn't taking on more meaning before our eyes?
To: mikhailovich
It sure seems to be unfolding that way. Those stated "axis" do not exist in a vaccum, so the words had to be directed to a much wider audience.
The reaction of the nations to the usage of the term certainly are exposing themselves. Showing who is for us and who is against us.

Are any of the houses Jimmy Carter built still standing? I bet, like everything else he has done, they are real "masterpieces".

<< Where is the UN? >>
The un is comprised of the lying, looting, mass-murdering gummints of such shitholes as Iraq, france, canada, Libya, germany and north korea;
<< Where is Russia? >>
At the un.
