I responded to two of his twleve, but who has time to answer all of them. It seems the lib/Dems are taking over Sean's forum, and I was wondering if any of the finely honed debating skills here at FR could be applied to this particular case. What this creepy liberal said, made me kind of mad, otherwise I wouldn't have posted it for y'all to read. When WJBCX42 was in office, we were to ignore the passage "high crimes and misdemeanors" -- high crime = felony perjury, misdemeanors = . I'm not taking sides on the israel/palestinian fight, but, you'd have to be blind to not see that, uprooting palestinians, who had been there for 1500 years, was going to make them fight. In reality, only a little over 50 years seperates what happened to the Sioux and what happened to the Palestinians. If you are not willing to sell your home back to the North American Indians and move back to your "country of origin", then you are hypocrite to criticize Israel! When criticizing American "foreign policy" too many people are foolishly dwelling in the past rather looking at reality in the present and future. Fail to acknowldedge the SENATE's constitutional requirement to approve all treaties. The SENATE was a REPUG majority in 1994 and you still blame Clinton for N. The treaty made with North Korea that provided them with an assortment of funds and aid in exchange for a promise not to produce nuclear weapons was made in late 1994, not before. And it was a Democrat puppy- the Republicans were screaming bloody murder over it. North Korea pocketed Clinton's massive bribe, and continued building weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems. While claiming it was facing famine, and gulling credulous aid organizations with pictures of scrawny babies, Pyongyang found money to expanded its army and artillery arm, continued to excavate vast, underground military storage sites and emplaced more long-range, 175-mm guns under concrete along the DMZ. You refuse to acknowledge that your President CLEARLY misled Congress and the American public by WAITING until the Iraq Resolutions were pa*sed and signed in the White House BEFORE he "leaked" the N. Horsecrap- everyone with a brain has known from the get-go that N. Ya think North Korea was building missiles like these to launch pop tarts or nukes? I take it you really believed the harmless pop tart nonsense about the satellite : 1998 fall : (NORTH KOREA FIRES LONG RANGE MISSILE OVER JAPAN) North Korea's growing ability to upgrade the medium-range Taepo Dong 2 missile into an ICBM by adding a third stage was validated last fall when it fired a long-range missile right over Japan, producing howls of impotent rage in Tokyo. Former Defense Secretary William Perry, in a long-awaited policy review, recommended Tuesday that the United States and its Asian allies try to coexist with the Marxist rulers in Pyongyang rather than undermine them or promote internal reform. The strategy is in sharp contrast with the way Washington handles what it calls rogue or pariah states - states such as Iraq, Libya and Cuba - and reflects the gravity of the military threat which North Korea could pose. Perry said the United States should instead gradually eliminate sanctions and reduce pressures North Korea sees as threatening, in exchange for assurances that North Korea does not have a nuclear weapons program and will not test, deploy, produce or export long-range missiles, the report said. The State Department released an unclassified version of the report Tuesday but the broad thrust of its contents has been common knowledge for months. The United States has already acted on Perry's recommendations. It eased economic sanctions in September after Pyongyang agreed to suspend its next long-range missile test. Perry, who spent 10 months reviewing North Korea policy at the request of President Clinton, concluded that an attempt to hasten the demise of the North Korean government would take too long and had no guarantee of success. Such a policy would raise the risk of a destructive war on the Korean peninsula and would give the secretive Stalinist state time to proceed with its weapons programs, he said. The DPRK Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or North Korea is also the country most likely to involve the United States in a large-scale regional war over the near term. The DPRK has deployed three new types of missiles since 1993, the newest capable of striking our nation. This presents a clear and present danger to our national security and allows North Korea to create a balance of terror in Northeast Asia. North Korea, arguably, is the largest proliferator of missiles and enabling technology in the world today. Its transfers to South Asia and to the Middle East are particularly distressing and potentially destabilizing. Despite the '94 agreed framework, North Korea may still be pursuing a nuclear program. Gilman went on to say the "Clinton Administration has conditioned North Korea to believe that brinkmanship brings benefits. You refuse to acknowledge that the same President who labeled both Iraq and N. Korea as members of the Axis of Evil is NOW intent on bombing one who "might" or "could" or "may" have WMD and issuing calls for "negotiations" with one who was confronted with concrete knowledge of Nuclear capabilities and clearly and unequivocably stated it was true. Too bad Clinton hadn't done the same back when North Korea "might" or "could" or "may" have WMD. Even according to Scott Ritter, now a turncoat, Iraq had three bombs made, needing only sufficient enriched material. By most accounts Iraq would have been able to scrounge up enough uranium for a bomb since it already had at MINIMU a head start from its old Soviet 'research' reactor. Iraq is well underway to establishing a home grown means of enrichment by the way. North Korea plans to export its long-range Daepodong-I missile from next year, South Korean government officials said yesterday. The weapons would sell for US$6 million (HK$46 million) each, one official said. The news agency said that during bilateral talks in Berlin in September, North Korea demanded US$500 million from the US in return for stopping missile sales abroad. The Washington Times says that according to a Pentagon intelligence agency report earlier this month, North Korea offered to sell Sudan an entire factory for assembling Scud missiles and also supplied missile-related goods to such countries as Syria, Pakistan, Egypt, Iran, Libya and Congo. Not to mention the items North Korea was shipping to Pakistan which was intercepted by India. As we know, Pakistan was helping the Taliban, and the Taliban were of course essentially wired in with al Qaeda. Other recent activities by the North Koreans outlined in classified intelligence reports include: North Korea last summer tried to ship missile components to Pakistan but the ship was intercepted during a stop in India. In July, North Korea sent specialty steel with missile applications through a Chinese company in Hong Kong to Egypt, which is secretly cooperating with Pyongyang in building Scud missiles. Iranian officials recently traveled to North Korea to discuss missile cooperation. Iran is building two types of medium-range missiles, mostly with Russian and Chinese assistance. There are some signs that North Korea is assisting Libya with its efforts to develop missiles. In another recent report, the Air Force's National Air Intelligence Center at WrightPatterson AFB, Ohio, described North Korea's missile program as extensive. North Korea has moved quickly to a high position on the intelligence community's strategic missile threat list, ranking a notch below Russia and China. A National Intelligence Estimate--a consensus view of more than 10 US intelligence organizations--was made public in September. It warned of new dangers from North Korea's missile program. The panel's report issued in July 1998 states: "The commission judges that the No Dong was operationally deployed long before the US government recognized that fact. North Korea also has developed a new 620-mile-range No Dong missile. The Congressional panel headed by former Defense Secretary Do...
