More on Clinton's Korea Fiasco

The Democrat spin machine is trying to cover up the disastrous role Bill Clinton and his blame-America-first stooge Jimmy Carter played in the North Korea crisis.

Reality: North Korea dumped Clinton's absurd and unverifiable Agreed Framework after the U.S. confronted it over its secret program to enrich uranium. Pyongyang violated the accord even as Clinton was planning a trip to North Korea in December 2000. Most media won't report this, but the Wall Street Journal did today.

"Despite months of intense diplomacy to probe Pyongyang's intentions, Mr. Clinton never made the trip to North Korea before his term ended. But the question of what he might have accomplished there has now become central to the debate facing U.S. and Asian governments as they try to defuse an escalating nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula," the Journal revealed.

"U.S. Assistant Secretary of State James Kelly said in October that North Korean officials admitted to him that they had been secretly developing a uranium-enrichment program for several years to produce nuclear weapons in violation of a 1994 U.S.-North Korean pact negotiated with the Clinton administration. The program was under way while General Jo was in Washington urging Mr. Clinton to come to the North for negotiations on a new pact, Bush officials note. And U.S. officials say they aren't going to negotiate with the regime until it unilaterally agrees to shelve its program for building weapons of mass destruction."

Samuel Berger, Clinton's national security adviser, now says, "Our view was that this was promising but very inchoate."
