One or two produced in the early 1990's! And we're supposed to believe
that Kim agreed to quit building them because Clinton handed him $4
billion and asked "please"?

Must be true, and a good idea, too. Similar carrots have been dangled in
front of N. Korea by Nookular Boy.

Bush has not made any bi-lateral proposals to the N. Koreans.

Rice mentioned aid packages in an interview last year, in return for good
behavior. I suspect she informed the idiot that she was going to mention
aid.

Actually, she mentioned them last week. But you can bet that if the Bush
administration enters into any agreements with Kim, it will be on more than
a spit and a handshake...and it will be subject to inspections of N. Korea
by the US and other countries.

In other words, very similar to Clinton's successful policy.

Really? How many U.S.-led inspection teams travelled to Pyongyang during
Clinton's watch?

How many have during Bush's watch? How many do you think will? Or Iran?
Or Libya? And why do you think any inspection teams *have* to be led by
an American?

Do you know anything at all about the accepted non-proliferation
protocols? Do you care, since you appear to be hopping from one tub of
mud to the next, flinging away in the hopes that something will stick to
the other guy sooner or later.

Bush didn't give N. Korea $4 billion in aid in exchange for an empty
promise.


How many do you think will?

I don't believe Bush will give any aid to Kim...so the question is moot.


Or Iran?

I think it's more likely that Israeli or US forces will strike suspected
Iranian nuke sites than inspect them. The Iranians don't appear to be
willing to cave on the nuke inspection issue.



Or Libya? And why do you think any inspection teams *have* to be led by an
American?

Led, accompanied by, whatever. The point is inspection teams with US
representatives on them.

The "protocols" change from administration to administration. Clinton
believed in appeasement and Bush believes in pre-emption.


Do you care

Not really.
