The Clinton Legacy: North Korea's Bomb

<< < (8/8)

Xavier_Onassis:
Actually, according to the deal Clinton made, Japan would provide over $1 billion in funding for the construction of the 2 light water reactors. That funding was then retracted by Japan when N. Korea lauched two missiles over Japan on 31 August 98. It was that event which eventually killed the deal.

=========================================================
This isn't true.

Nothing was lobbed "over Japan".

The current nuclear status is mostly due to the typical incompetence of Juniorbush and his puppeteers at understanding Kim and dealing diplomatically with himA good diplomat can even achieve success with a buffoon. But the fact is that both Kim and and the Juniorbushies are utter  buffoons of the lowest order.

This crap where Juniorbush says that he wants to resolve problems diplomatically (with Iraq, then wirth Iran and N. Korea) and then refuses to talk is idiocy of the worst sort. Appointing an annoying thug like Boulton is typical for these loons.

If there were any justice in the world, a mob of several million indignant Americans would drag these clowns Juniorbush, Cheney, Rice, Rummy, Rove, and Mitch McConnell and Henry "The Thing that Will Not Die" Kissinger and  out of their cushy offices, like the pestilent maggots that they are,  tie them to poles, coat them with tar and feathers, running them out of town on the rail, leaving them somewhere beyond the Beltway. It's what they deserve.


That, or drowning their sorry butts in the Reflecting Pool. What a bunch of utterly worthless cowardly chickenhawks they are.

Feel better now Hoof?     ;D

"On August 31, 1998, North Korea launched what was initially believed to be a two-stage Taepodong 1 (TD1) missile eastward over Japan. The first stage of the missile fell into international waters roughly 400 miles east of the launch site, and the second stage flew over Japanese territory, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean approximately 930 miles from the launch site."

Xavier_Onassis:
Observe that this article, from some source I have never heard of, claimed that a stage of a rocket intended to LAUNCH A SATELLITE went over JAPANESE TERRITORY. NOT JAPAN, Japanese Territory, which might mean some stray islet out there or someplace within the fishing waters.

This article is obvious propaganda. Any dunce can tell from the way it is worded.

The fact is that Kim got NOTHING for his promise, and so why should he keep it? Why?

If you pay for something and do not get it, do you pay for it anyway?

It makes sense to me for North Korea rto claim to have nukes, just as it makes sense for Israel to have them.

If it actually went over Japan itself, and had been some sort of agressive weapon, and not a failed attempt at launching a satellite, that might have been something dangerous.

But it wasn't.

And Juniordunce and his puppeteers really do deserve tarring, feathering and being run out of town on a rail. And should it happen, I would rejoice heartily.

The worst administration since Jefferson Davis.
