John Kerry Lies Again

I do wonder what is it with our Democrats that they feel the have to relentlessly lie about easily discovered facts all the time - from Texas Rainmaker:
<<< KERRY: Why not engage in a bilateral one and get the job done? That’s what the Clinton administration did.
BOLTON: Very poorly, since the North Koreans violated the agreed framework almost from the time it was signed. And I would also say, Senator, that we do have the opportunity for bilateral negotiations with North Korea in the context of the six-party talks, if North Korea would come back to them.
KERRY: Mr. Ambassador, at the time — Secretary Perry has testified before this committee, as well as others — they knew that there would be the probability they would try to do something outside of the specificity of the agreement.
But the specificity of the agreement was with respect to the rods and the inspections and the television cameras and the reactor itself.
BOLTON: Senator, the agreed framework requires North Korea and South Korea to comply with the joint North-South denuclearization agreement, which in turn provides no nuclear weapons programs on the Korean Peninsula.
So it was not limited only to the plutonium reprocessing program.
KERRY: Mr. Ambassador, the bottom line is that no plutonium was reprocessed under that agreement. No plutonium was reprocessed until the cameras were kicked out, the inspectors were kicked out, the rods were taken out, and now they have four times the nuclear weapons they had when you came on watch. >>>
<<< So there’s your context. Kerry really told him off, didn’t he? Well, except for the fact that Kerry was lying (see link below - hat tip: Old Soldier):
July 1999: A U.S. intelligence report claims that North
Korea has between 25 and 30 kilograms of weapon-grade
plutonium, enough to make several nuclear warheads.
You’d think someone who served on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence would know the truth. That is… if he’d ever bothered to show up for the meetings. (Then again, this is the same guy who issued a press release claiming he’d been Vice Chairman of that committee when, in fact, he never had been) >>>
What our Democrats really need to do is ask themselves why the North Koreans would ever keep such an agreement. Think about it: what benefit would North Korea obtain by keeping the agreement?
The government leadership, the secret police and the army are well fed, so there's no need to worry about any adverse affects on the average North Korean. Meanwhile, by actually building and deploying a nuke or two, you might be able to shake down the West for even more. In the worldview of an atheist tyrant, keeping agreements and being a responsible player in the world doesn't make the slightest bit of sense - especially when the world has a large segment of elite leadership who will happy to make a new agreement with you as soon as you violate the old agreement.
Dishonesty and stupidity - that is really all the Democrats offer these days.
