George W Bush Administration should be mostly blamed for N Korea going nuclear

If, in fact, North Korea has nuclear weapons.

Cotton’s misguided history lesson on the North Korean nuclear deal

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2015/03/13/cottons-misguided-history-lesson-on-the-north-korean-nuclear-deal/

So how did North Korea get its hands on the nuclear material? George W. Bush became president in 2001 and was highly skeptical of Clinton’s deal with North Korea. The new administration terminated missile talks with Pyongyang and then spent months trying to develop its own policy.

Then intelligence agencies determined that North Korea was cheating on the agreement by trying to develop nuclear material through another method â€" highly-enriched uranium. The Bush administration sent an envoy who confronted North Korea â€" and the regime was said to have belligerently confirmed it.

In response, the Bush administration terminated a supply of fuel oil that was essential to the agreement â€" and then North Korea quickly kicked out the U.N. inspectors, restarted the nuclear plant and began developing its nuclear weapons, using the material in radioactive fuel rods that previously had been under the close watch of the IAEA. Japan and South Korea, the key partners in the accord, were not happy with the decision to terminate the Agreed Framework, but there was little they could do about it.

After North Korea conducted its first nuclear test in 2006, the Bush administration tried desperately to negotiate a new accord with Pyongyang, including offering new concessions, but those efforts ultimately failed. The nuclear genie by then was out of the bottle. The issue was considered such a loser that the Obama administration has barely bothered to restart disarmament talks.

Questions have since been raised about whether the Bush administration misinterpreted North Korea’s supposed confirmation â€" and doubts also emerged about the quality of U.S. intelligence that inspired the confrontation. But Bush’s later efforts to negotiate a new accord were hampered by fresh evidence that North Korea actually did have an undisclosed uranium-enrichment program.

Funny how Charles R(epublican) Smith never mentioned any of this.



I'm shocked SHOCKED to find out the Bush Administration was a disaster at everything it did.

Ok, transparent shill.

What does this have to do with anything?  This is not news. Joe Kennedy, Charles Lindbergh and Henry Ford were as guilty as Prescott Bush. Some people were suckered by Adolf Hitler.  Does Neville Chamberlain ring a bell?

I just finished two on Buffalo Bill and neither of them mentioned the illuminati. Starting my third. I will watch for any secret symbols.

That's right, you've got it all figured out. What a maroon.



You really are a card!  LOL.  Ron Jr. probably brought them into the White House to piss off dad.

You better take your lithium, Bugs.  So what if Bush was in Skull and Bones? So were a bunch of other fat cat rich kids.  Next I suppose you will start talking about the Masons.

That's ok. In some dimly lit building, North Korean intelligence officers are trying to break our code.

He could care less. He just wants socialism to spread across the world.  He's a Canuck who is infatuated with American politics.

136 or 142

1.It's couldn't care less, not 'could care less.'

2.I try not to get pissed about too many things, though, as usual, Jackstar is an idiot.

3.I'm closest to being a liberal and I'm not a socialist in the slightest.

He, especially in the older Mitchell and Webb show (some great skits) is hilarious.
