Karen, couple of things. Biden gave that speech in March 2001, your article says. That's two months after Bush took office. What I am saying is that the House Members knew this in 1999, if not before, and there is a similar report for 2000 that was presented in 2001.
Re Bush and his surprise.... I think you will see, IF you read the WHOLE article (link posted several times) you will see that North Korea was working on a nuclear capability...it had the missiles and part of the nuke capability.
Very similar to Iraq today. They have part of the capability today as well. To our knowledge, they don't have all the components. As yet.
As for your last comment, guess I should just consider the source. If you haven't noticed, the leadership of North Korea has been taking the money the US has sent, used the money for other than food for the NK citizens, and hasn't given them the food we sent either.
Please do read the link I sent. You are bright, and am surprised you have not. There are things in that report that any citizen, no matter their political stripe, will learn. And perhaps start to wonder what in the heck has been going on for the last 10 or so years.... |
