You have to love the tap dancing that the Washington Post’s Edward Cody does regarding North Korea:
Kim did not say what kind of reactor North Korea was demanding, but Hill said that in the closed negotiations Kim was insisting on a guarantee for a light-water reactor.
The United States says North Korea should not even be allowed to maintain reactors for civilian use because it turned a research facility at Yongbyon, near the capital, into a production center for weapons-grade plutonium after the collapse of a 1994 agreement restricting nuclear activity. Going a step further, North Korea announced in February that it has used the material to make nuclear weapons.
There was no "collapse," Mr. Cody. President Clinton gave the North Korean’s a nuclear reactor on the promise that they wouldn’t use it to develop nuclear weapons. Jimmy Carter (worst pres. ever) "helped." Then, as soon as we left, the NK’s took the wrappers off and started up their nuclear bomb program. That is not a collapse. That is a willfull disregard on the NK’s part to follow the terms of the agreement.
Gee, is somebody really surprised the idiot (for whom every day is a bad hair day) actually lied to the likes of Clinton, Carter, and Albright?
