SOUTHFIELD, Mich. -- Republican Sen. John McCain on Tuesday accused former President Clinton, the husband of his potential 2008 White House rival, of failing to act in the 1990s to stop North Korea from developing nuclear weapons.

US grants N Korea nuclear funds



Pyongyang threatened to pull out of the nuclear deal

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".

[cui bono]

11. my thoughts exactly. n/t

[Subdivisions]

3. Everything the Pugs ever got wrong was Clinton's fault and

everything they've gotten right they take cre -- what?...OH..yeah...that's right...they haven't gotten ANYTHING right!

[texasleo]

4. McCain can say whatever he wants about the Clintons and other Dems

The puketivists still see him as a liberal who is out to bring down W.

[buff2]

5. Nobody pays any attention to that old lunatic

McCain needs to STFU. He's as brainless as his hero, Chimpy. Both of them are irrelevent....just two old mental midget has beens.

[flpoljunkie]

6. Nobody but CNN, and AP. He was just on spouting this trash.

7. Arf! Arf! A much better pet than Barney! n/t

8. I posted this story on a freeper board, and they deleted it.

Then continued the "It's CLINTON'S FAULT" thread.

You freepers want the truth? You can't handle the truth!

.

[flpoljunkie]

12. Yes, indeedy, freepers cannot handle the truth, Atman.

Thanks for your post. We need to get this story out now!

[liberal N proud]

9. The sad state of affairs in the Republican party - Blame Clinton

Is there nothing they will not try to brush off on Clinton?

McCain is a wimpy ass repug, that too, I am sure is Clinton's fault.

[liberalmuse]

10. I was in the military under Bush I...

Things were pretty critical with N. Korea until Clinton came along. He managed to calm things down, but under Bush I, there was a time when N. Korea was our Number 1 threat.

[Skidmore]

13. Now Condi is up on Wolfie's show implying the same thing

out of one side of her mouth while coyly demuring that she wouldn't say anything so blatant and no one could stop NK from developing these weapons and that they had been doing this for "decades."

[spanone]

14. McCain is just helping his pal keep IRAQ OFF THE FRONT PAGE.

THEY DO NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IRAQ.

[LunaC]

15. Wait -- it gets worse!

February 2003 - prior to the Iraq invasion - North Korea captured the spotlight yet again when it announced a reactivation of its nuclear facilities and threatened the U.S. with a pre-emptive first strike. Even in the midst of an overwhelmingly obvious threat to American security from an adversary with undeniable WMD capability, diplomatic relations calmly continued without any apparent concern and the focus remained on an Iraq attack, a country that posed no immediate threat.

[flpoljunkie]

16. Yes, indeed! We need more recommendations to get this out!

[blm]

20. diplomatic relations by many nations since BushInc would not engage in any

direct and meaningful diplomatic dialogue with NKorea.

[Supersedeas]

17. kissing the hand of the party leaders and kneeling for their blessing

[flpoljunkie]

18. Kick!

19. McCain figures just jump on Bush money backers and he's in the WH.

imagine going from the chimp to McCain? what a trip.
