#1 Message to the Peoples Republic of China:

Japan is seriously considering rearming because you have not stomped on your client North Korea. North Korea doesn't scare the US with their nuclear threats. Don't play poker with W.

#2 "Experts say it is possible some U.S. officials exaggerated the extent of the uranium program to torpedo a 1994 U.S. agreement with North Korea that traded energy aid for a freeze on nuclear development. Bush administration hard-liners had been trying to end the agreement in hopes of overturning the isolated, totalitarian regime"

So it's our fault? Who'da thunk it?

#3 Frank, when the NK came out and announced that they had continued their weapons development program, didn't that torpedo the treaty right there?

#4 Seems to me this article has the cart before the horse. I thought NKor announced they were building nuclear weapons, THEN Bush cut the oil shipments, not the other way around. Also, I have a hard time believing anything that comes out of the State Department intelligence facility. I've seen too many mistakes and gross blunders that group of blind donkeys have made. Senator Bayh may also be trying to get a few soft digs into Bush over this, which is why it's being released. I also would wait until I had confirmation from NIMA and perhaps DIA before I believed any of this.
