"The Bush Administration catches NK cheating on the deal and basically voids it in an effort to renegotiate with stronger terms."

If that was the hope, then why did they refuse to negotiate with them?

How stupid is that?

"Now, you want to blame Bush for the cheating because HE caught them?"

Straw man.

You, like harris, are ignoring the brutal fact that if NK had continued to cheat, they were at least a decade, and probably even more given they couldn't get the device they developed to detonate, from nuclear weapons. And a whole lot of money. Building a centrifuge cascade large enough to get weapons grade uranium is not trivial and it is anything but cheap.

Now, 6 years later, they have them.

Those are the facts y'all choose to ignore. Dance, sing, wave your hands. But you can't change the facts.

The cheating involved a much more problematic path to nuclear weapons. The broken treaty led to a much simpler and cheaper path. One that was under control with the "horrible" treaty you despise so much.
