If hypocrisy was a commodity, we could fund the "war on terror" & still have a budget surplus.

Didn't these guys hide all the monstrosities Hussain was commiting in Iraq so they could be cozy up to him and get all the interviews?
Kind of like what they are doing with Baaack Hussain and his shady past associates.

Hey thanks for proving your own point wrong a second time. Once again, this is how real diplomacy works when it comes to dealing with terrorist states who seek to develop nuclear capability. You start at the diplomatic level, make the pre-conditions clear and negotiate until they are met. Then and ONLY then does a high level official such as the Sec'y of State actually meet with leaders of that country.

Two posts back to back that demonstrate the level headed and measured approach to dealing with rogue nations that Bush has used, and highlighting the lunacy of Obama's dangerously naive concept of foreign policy.

Man, with friends like you, Obama sure doesn't need enemies. Hey, are you that DEMOCRAT who filed suit against Obama to make him "prove" his citizenship????

"level headed and measured approach" -- let me get this straight ... Bush wipes out all the gains made by Clinton negotiating with the North Koreans, calls them the axis of evil, wastes 5 years, & then picks up from where Clinton left off ...

Naïveté seems to be your hallmark. Soak up the diplomatic drivel.

WHAT gains??? You mean wiped out the MONEY we were paying North Korea to NOT develop nulcear weapons?? How'd that work out for us?? Oh yeah, they continued full steam ahead with their program while cashing Clinton's check.

Hmmmm, what happened not long ago? Oh yeah, N. Korea destroyed their cooling tower, and have demonstrated to UN inspectors that their nuclear program has halted, and is being dismantled.

Lets see...

Clinton PAID N. Korea, and NK just cashed our check and did what they wanted to do anyways.

Bush, through diplomacy, sanctions, and with the help of China is in the process of seeing NK completely dismantle their nuclear program. But the progress doesn't end there. I suspect you probably aren't even aware that limited trade has resumed between North and South Korea. I suspect you are probably also unaware that South Korea is poised to begin construction of a major rail system that will connect North and South Korea. Both steps having been brokered by the United States.

Please, stop trying to talk about things you know nothing about.

Clinton paid --yes.

what did Bush do: he made an "aid-for-disarmament" deal. A pig with lipstick is still a pig.
