What do you think about Prez Bush giving North Korea $$ for nuclear weapontry??

Question

The US Government has announced that it will release $95m to North Korea as part of an agreement to replace the Stalinist country's own nuclear programme, which the US suspected was being misused.
Under the 1994 Agreed Framework an international consortium is building two proliferation-proof nuclear reactors and providing fuel oil for North Korea while the reactors are being built.

In releasing the funding, President George W Bush waived the Framework's requirement that North Korea allow inspectors to ensure it has not hidden away any weapons-grade plutonium from the original reactors.

President Bush argued that the decision was "vital to the national security interests of the United States".

Answer 1

It is only vital to the prez's check book, that is the way he does business.

Answer 2

NO!!!! It replaced into "Slick Willie" Clinton and his administration that presented North Korea 2 Lightwater nuclear reactors below a 1994 deal. A 1999 Congressional study warned that both reactors had the skill to generate sufficient nuclear gas to produce very nearly one hundred nuclear bombs in holding with year.

Answer 3

I don't recall GW doing that but I sure remember Slick Willey doing it. He said by us doing that Jong WOULD NOT make a bomb. He said he had Jongs word that the reactors were for power not bombs. So much for his word.

Answer 4

For starters your story is from 2002. Secondly, it's from the BBC, certainly anti-Bush.

Answer 5

Funny how Clinton gave them the technology for free and know we have to buy it back.

Answer 6

everyone wants to second guess the pres, but noone seems to do the job any better.
