OK fine then. I guess one or two bombs are OK, as long as it is not many bombs. Who am I anyway to get excited about a couple of nuclear bombs in the hand of a ruthless dictator. Sorry for getting overly worried about it. And as far as your suggestion that i check the facts, can we instead settle on: i will pay your airfare and you go check the facts in North Korean. It's not that i am a chicken or anything but my schedule is really tight these days.

I believe you are wrong. Before Carter's agreement, Clinton was preparing to go to war over the North Korean nuclear weapons program. There is no reason to believe that, North Korea would be building 20-30 nukes a year. As its heavy water reactors would have most likely the first sites destroyed by U.S. bombing raids.

Denial, obfuscation and refusal to take responsibility for their actions are the hallmarks of the Clinton administration and their apologists. You have learned well. You can play semantics all you want, but the bottom line is that the Clinton policy failed. The difference between 0 and 1 nuke is huge. The difference between 1 and 5, 10 or 20 is meaningless – it only takes one. The Clinton administration was the ultimate demonstration of style over substance – policies and words that sound good but ultimately cannot be sustained. North Korea is just another in a long line of stink-bombs that the Clintons left behind. And this is one that they knew about. I suspect that we will be finding them for years to come.
