enriching uranium and threatening nuclear war, is there any chance of GWB admitting that he invaded the wrong country?

Or maybe he thinks Iraq was the right country to invade because he could make more money for him and his cronies then they could in N. Korea.

That's a very nice answer Jay....except its completely wrong.

Iraq did comply. I made two deployments over there during that 12 year period you speak of, and even though he allowed inspectors in, we still bombed him, repeatedly.

Also, there was no proof that Iraq was aiding terrorists. So trying to use that as an excuse as to why we attacked Iraq is completely invalid.

Thirdly, attacking N. Korea would have nothing to do with terrorism. It has something to do with him trying to get the means to produce nuclear weapons and then threatening us with those weapons. You know, dont those reasons sound oddly familiar? Except this time it would be true and not just a bunch of Republican talking points.

Iraq was on his agenda from day one.
I don't think he even knows where N. Korea is.

In 1991, Iraq invaded Kuwait, and began to mass troops on the border of Saudi Arabia. The United States and a large coalition of other countries demanded that Iraq withdraw, and when they did not, the Iraqi forces were attacked and forced to flee from Kuwait. They were pursued into Iraq, but Bush 41 made a political decision, and chose to stop fighting after 100 hours.

No Peace treaty was ever signed, only a Cease Fire agreement. In that agreement, Iraq promised to do several things, such as destroy all his WMDs in a verifiable manner, or face a resumption of hostilities. The time limit passed... And the United States did nothing. For twelve years, the United States and the U.N. sought a diplomatic solution to gain Iraqi compliance. Eventually, a final ultimatum was presented and once again, Iraq refused to cooperate. The Untied States, with a unanimous mandate from the U.N. Security Council and specific authorization from Congress, ended once and for all the war that began in 1991.

The Korean problem has many parallels. No peace treaty was ever signed with North Korea, there is only a cease fire. In this instance though, there is still hope that diplomacy can prevail. North Korea is dangerous, but to date there is no evidence I know of to show that North Korea is aiding our terrorist enemies.

Iran have the most reserve oil in the world. Possible threats after Iraq.
North Korea is selling 'resources' to Iran.
Both are dangerous!

Yawn, hit the snooze button... no problems out there.

Seriously, Iran was the appropriate 1st target, NK the 2nd.
