Bush blames Clinton for N Korea nuke developments -
Bush vs. Bill on N. Korea nukes

WASHINGTON -<snip>"Some of those weapons may well have been produced as the North Koreans were violating the agreement that they had with President Clinton," Card told NBC's "Meet the Press."

Wendy Sherman, Clinton's special adviser on North Korea, responded, "The worst of this problem has happened on the watch of the Bush administration."

Sherman admitted North Korea "may have built one or two nuclear weapons in the 1990s," but said the pressure Clinton put on dictator Kim Jong Il was reversed under Bush and "six or eight" nukes may be in his stockpile.

"Things have gotten much, much worse," she said.

1. How many times did Clinton blame Reagan and/or Bush?
I'm asking b/c I don't know. I can't remember anytime he did 'tho.

9. It's highly unlikely that * will ever take responsibility for anything...
... unless, of course, he is taking credit for something he had nothing to do with

5. Evil lies
under Clinton we talk to N Korea = no nukes
under bush we do not talk to N Korea = multiple nukes

Under Clinton N. Korea got food aid
Under Bush he stopped the food aid

? Do you think a country with starving desperate people is more of
a danger or less? Do you think that they would sell a bomb to bin Laden?

This ALL ON BUSH.

6. George W Bush is the reason N. Korea decided to build nukes.
He's done nothing but saber rattle since he started his run for the presidency in 1999. The N Koreans saw him coming and they did what any reasonable country would do if they had the resources. Once again the leader of the party of responsibility finds no fault in himself.

14. The DPRK nuclear detterent is all Bush clique's doing
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea's nuclear weapons have been developped only to deter the US imperialist war-mongers from invading the DPRK under false pretext (cf. Iraq), thereby ensuring peace and the self preservation of all the people of the Korea Peninsula, North and South.

Given the Bush clique's brazen war-crazy ways, it is only normal that the people of Korea develop the necessary means to twarth US imperialist agression toward its system that ensures the dignity and prosperity of all Koreans thanks to the Juche Idea.

So the creation of the DPRK nuclear deterrent by the Dear Leader Comrade Generalissimo Kim Jong Il is all Bush clique of international gangsters' doing. President Clinton did not insult and slander the Dear Leader with such grossly ingorant epithets such as "Axil of Evil" or "Outpost of Tyranny", contrary to the Bush criminal murderer :

FM spokesman slams Bush’s provocative remarks

The Foreign Ministry spokesman answered KCNA on April 30 to accuse Bush of letting loose a spate of vituperation against the leadership of the DPRK:

At a press conference on April 29 Bush again spoke evil of the leadership of the DPRK.

It is the DPRK’s firm stand neither to pardon nor overlook anyone who slanders its leadership.

Bush is a hooligan bereft of any personality as a human being, to say nothing of status as president of a country. He is a half-baked man in terms of morality and a philistine whom we can never deal with.

No one can expect to hear reasonable words from Bush, once a cowboy at a ranch in Texas. His remarks often stun audience as they reveal his ignorance.

What the Bush team has done since it took office in the US that styles itself a “superpower” is nothing but having turned various parts of the world into a sea of blood.

Bush is, indeed, a world dictator whose hands are stained with the blood shed by innocent civilians.

Peace can never settle in the world as long as Bush stays in power. The DPRK does not expect the settlement of the nuclear issue or any progress in DPRK-US relations during his term.

Bush never forgot to mention the third party whenever he referred to the nuclear issue although the DPRK and the US are the parties directly concerned with it.

This is no more than a trick to shift the blame on to the third party.

Over more than four years since Bush’s inauguration the DPRK has shown utmost magnanimity and patience. It can no longer do so, waiting for any shift in the US policy.
