We believe that both North Korea and Iraq have WMD. We believe that both North Korea and Iraq are willing to pass them on to terrorists to use against us. We believe that both North Korea and Iraq are governed by murderous thugs who slaughter their own people wholesale. Why did we pick on Iraq first, rather than North Korea? Isn't that the question he was asked? Not, why did we attack Iraq, but why did we attack Iraq first, rather than North Korea. >>Asked why a nuclear power such as North Korea was being treated differently from Iraq, where hardly any weapons of mass destruction had been found, the deputy defence minister said: "Let's look at it simply. The most important difference between North Korea and Iraq is that economically, we just had no choice in Iraq. The country swims on a sea of oil."<< Not politically sugarcoated.
