Coming after the Clinton's administration's handling of North Korea -- which effectively paid the North Koreans to develop uranium-enrichment programs -- these accusations against the Bush administration are rich. It's clear that American intelligence had wind of North Korean violations since 1998, but the Clinton administration, preoccupied at home, preferred to play a game of kick-the-can and ignore the trouble. Did Krugman ever criticize the Clinton administration's Korea policy?

Also, every informed player I listen to tells me over and over that the North Koreans are crazy, they don't respond to either incentives or threats like normal people. So Krugman's chiding the Bush administration for not lining up the incentives just right is just another piece of partisanship.
