Both Bill and Hillary Clinton lambasted President Bush for his North Korean ... oh, sorry - old story. UN inspectors on site today have confirmed that North Korea has shut down its nuclear reactor. Well, ... it's still his fault, right?
United Nations inspectors have confirmed the shutdown of North Korea's Yongbyon nuclear reactor, the head of the UN's nuclear watchdog has said.
Mohamed Elbaradei praised what he said was "good co-operation" from North Korea, and welcomed the shutdown as a "step in the right direction"."Our inspectors are there. They verified the shutting down of the reactor yesterday," he told reporters during a visit to Bangkok


The good news is it didn't cost us any nuclear reactors this time like it did with Clinton's "deal".

Not sure ElBaradei will be able to get the sequencing right on a nuke weapons shut down. Is there a manual that he can refer to? Because he certainly hasn't had any practice at it. And PA, don't worry, Richardson will probably call Li'l Kim and offer him a reactor (and some Hennessy and his used porno collection) just for the heck of it.

And there is a "Back on" switch which is bigger and brighter than the "Off "switch. Blackmailers are always patient and they are always "on" ready to ask for more. At least we've bought a little time.

haha. Not too cynical, are we? "...his used porno collection..." "Back on switch"...... jeeeez. Li'l Kim has the world's largest collection of porn. And we jump through hoops to deal with this perv.
I think China probably told him he'd not need the reactors when all his people died of starvation after they cut off the food supply. As for Kim's porn - Here's a generator, dude.

Yes China jerked Kim up short.

wow, those NK reactors are sure causing the entire world a great deal of trouble, huh? what a horrible, horrible thing that a rogue thug "state" like north korea has such things.
saaaaaay, how'd a backwards, stone-age, unable-to-even-come-close-to-feeding-themsleves, incompetent buncha bonehead thugz like the NK's even GET reactors, anyways? their technical & economic knowhow and might is roughly similar to an average african hellhole, and THEY don't have reactors....so how'd kim & his buddies nuke up??
oh, THAAAT'S right.....useless POS bill clinton and worst-president-in-history jimmuh carter GAVE them the reactors. for FREE.
golly! that seems to have been a REALLY stupid thing for them to have done, huh? EASILY the worst & stupidest foreign-policy decision of the last 50 years, huh?
thanks so much, liberal idiots.
