The North Korean regime NEVER intended to comply with Clintons two page deal. They lie as usual to get what they want then press on with their nuclear ambitions. Bush saw the fatal flaws in the Clinton deal and backed out. You make it sound as though Clintn's "deal" was a good one. It was NOT!!!
First of all, an editorial is not the same thing as a report. It's just someone's opinion. Secondly, whether they intended to do it or not isn't something you can deduce because you're not a telepath and can't presume to know what someone was thinking nearly 20 years ago. Thirdly, it wasn't until 2006, after Bush pulled us from Clinton's agreement, that North Korea actually tested a nuke. They had the capability to do so for as much as a decade prior and didn't. So why did they do so in 2006? What prompted that? Bush pulling aid per the agreement, and trying to lazily outsource negotiations to China and other Pacific Rim nations, when all North Korea really wanted was to deal with us only.
As usual, it was Democrat showing weakness that our sworn enemy ALWAYS uses against us. Jimmy Carter did it. Obama did it. Clinton did it.
Fucking bullshit and wholly ignorant of history. Which President was it that agreed to sell weapons (illegally) to Iran (our enemy, right?) in exchange for releasing the hostages? Which President was it that cut-and-ran from Lebanon after the marine barracks were bombed? Which President was it who installed a pro-Iranian (again, they're our enemy, right?) Shi'ite Prime Minister in Iraq? Which President was it who neglected Iran's (once again, our enemy, right?) nuclear ambitions which led them to spin thousands of centrifuges throughout the 00's? Which President was it who armed Saddam with weapons he used against his own people? Which President was it who sent billions of dollars on pallets to Sunnis in Anbar who were attacking coalition troops in an effort to bribe them to stop? Which President was it whose Secretary of State sang the praises of Khaddafi?
So you say Clinton, Carter, and Obama were weak, yet you don't seem to know how so. Then you ignore (or just plain don't know about) the Republican Presidents over the last 40 years who did the very things you accuse the Democratic Presidents of doing. That's pretty shitty.
