How many cons forgot that the Bush administration gave $95 million to NK and waived nuclear inspections?

Question

Why does it seem most people have forgotten about what Bush and his cohorts did on April 2, 2002? Clinton's framework, if it had been followed by the unintelligent Bush administration, would have prevented conflicts with North Korea which have arisen during Bush's presidency.

Answer 1

what are you talking about? NK was running a secret enrichment operation not long after signing onto clintons deal. it just came to light under bushs admin.

Answer 2

Most of the United States has been blind to North Korea since September 11, 2001. The only time anyone has even cared in the least was when they performed a nuclear test. At the same time, the focus is now on Iran.

Is it religious issues? Is it oil issues? Or do people just care about what they see in the media, and Big Media doesn't care about North Korea? That, I don't know.

The fact remains that most conservatives are more interested in Iraq and Iran, while Democrats only mention North Korea on occasion, preferring to stew over Iraq as a quagmire.

The depths of the North Korean situation are far more detailed and nuanced than what they seem to be at first, and in all honesty, the United States is ill equipped for East Asian diplomacy in the first place. A lot of Americans would just love to pretend North Korea doesn't even exist...

Answer 3

Ohhhhhhh, what the H! That information is sooooo corrupt, it doesn't even make sense.

This is the actual text of that transaction and read the whole thing this time. He wasn't doing them any 'favors' but this is money lent to NK to assist them in DE-missile...and get rid of the threat and it was according to Clinton's framework. Stop telling lies or attempting to create a conclusion to something you don't understand.
