I could not have been more sarcastic in asking this question... I wanted to see what the psychotic liberals would say. What I was not expecting was the insane rants of my fellow conservatives birdsnakecatherine and oldfootlose. You people need to switch to decaf.

NO!!!! It was "Slick Willie" Clinton and his administration that provided North Korea 2 Lightwater nuclear reactors under a 1994 deal.
A 1999 Congressional study warned that the
2 reactors had the capacity to generate enough
nuclear fuel to produce almost 100 nuclear
bombs per year.

The leftist media spin is that the current crisis in North Asia is the result of George W. Bush calling Pyongyang a member of the 'axis of evil.' In reality, the soft-line appeasement policy taken by Clinton against North Korea and China is what has led us to this point.

For example, former Clinton adviser Paul Begala, now serving as a talking head on CNN, claimed that the Clinton administration contained the threat from North Korea. Clearly, Mr. Begala missed the 1990s.

Of course, Mr. Begala simply forgot that Clinton's military chief of staff testified in 1998 that North Korea did not have an active ballistic missile program. One week later the North Koreans launched a missile over Japan that landed off the Alaska coast.

During the early Clinton years, hard-liners and so-called conservative hawks advocated a pre-emptive strike to halt North Korea's nuclear weapons development before it could field an atomic bomb. Instead of taking the hard line, President Clinton elected to rely on former President Jimmy Carter and decided to appease the Marxist-Stalinist dictatorship.

Carter met with North Korean leader Kim Jong-il in Pyongyang and returned to America waving a piece of paper and declaring peace in our time. Kim, according to Carter, had agreed to stop his nuclear weapons development.

The Clinton appeasement program for North Korea included hundreds of millions of dollars in aid, food, oil and even a nuclear reactor. However, the agreement was flawed and lacked even the most informal means of verification.

In return, Kim elected to starve his people while using the American aid to build uranium bombs. The lowest estimate is that Kim starved to death over 1 million of his own people, even with the U.S. aid program and made his bomb anyway.

TIMELINE
In 1994, the Wall Street Journal revealed that Chinese-made CSS-2 missile technology had found its way into North Korean hands.

In 1998 North Korea acquired some key equipment for its nuclear weapons program from Pakistan.

In 2000 U.S. satellites were able to follow Chinese-made M-11 missiles bound for Pakistan over the same land route used in 1998. The illegal export of M-11 missiles brought swift sanctions against Beijing by the Bush administration.

It should shock no one, including the China lobby and DNC apologists, that Beijing will continue to support North Korea's nuclear weapons program.

However, some fools continue to be suckered by Beijing's obvious ploy to dominate Asia. The fools' hope that China will restrain Pyongyang continues to echo off the lips of the leftist media, as if by simply wishing it were true will make it so.

The fact remains that Bill Clinton's legacy is an unstable world filled with hungry dictators and nuclear weapons. The result of the Clinton appeasement policy toward China is a new arms race.

I doubt seriously that Republicans would ever allow North Koreans to procure nuclear armaments just for the sole purpose of distracting the public and the media from the Mark Foley scandal. Republicans, like most politicians are an unscrupulous bunch, but I doubt they would be compelled to give our adversaries weaponry that could potentially harm us, to prevent people from being too preoccupied with the Foley fiasco. They know that they have very adept spin-doctors who can easily make the scandal disappear, without putting our country into jeopardy.

Republicans only betray the country when it is absolutely necessary to do so. When I say necessary, I mean profitable.

Normally, I'd bash the heck out of you for spouting off such ridiculous nonsense, but I am passing up th opportunity for two reasons:

(1) You look hot from your 360 page.

(2) I got a laugh out of your profile from your 360 page explaining the difference between Dems and Repubs.

Even as a Repub, I had to laugh!

In seriousness, though, it is likely N. Korea got it from China. We're more likely to have given it to Isreal and India.

Yes! this is a fact. As a non-executive director of ABB, Donald Rumsfeld signed off on a 200 million dollar contract to sell reactors to N. Korea in 2000. Again this is a fact.

We gave them some technology with the expectation that they would use it peacefully to produce energy. They've been working on their program for some time. Before Bush was elected, I believe.

Yeah.....kind of a reverse "Wag the Dog" thing.
They also released sharks with laser beams on the coasts of the blue states.

Actually Clinton gave them the technology when he was in office.

You just won the STUPID QUESTION OF THE DAY:
You make everyone look smart.
You are a laughing stock. Do your homework.

Clinton made a deal with N. Korea. He gave them oil, food, and supplies on the promise that they would stop their nuclear program.
They betrayed him like everyone knew they would. He probably knew it too, but just didn't care.
N. Korea is still laughing at the clown, Clinton.
