Attention to WMD
Attention to WMD
President Bush said: “There are still regimes seeking weapons of mass destruction – but no longer without attention and without consequence.”
FACT: “Questions of how to deal with North Korea…have divided the Bush administration since its first days.” Under Bush’s watch, North Korea’s nuclear arsenal is thought to have quadrupled. Charles Pritchard, formerly Colin Powell’s top official dealing with North Korea, has warned for months that “the White House lacks an effective strategy to dissuade North Korea from building up its nuclear arms.” And while the U.S. sat passively on the sidelines, North Korea may have sold nuclear material to Libya. In fact, instead of stepping up efforts to secure nuclear materials, a recent Harvard University report titled “Securing the Bomb: An Agenda for Action,” finds “less fissile materials were secured in the two years after Sept. 11 than in the two years before.”

February 2nd, 2005 at 9:42 pmThose of us who struggled to bring our soldiers home from Viet Nam sometimes sadly failed to honor their sacrifices because we dishonored their mission and LBJ and his cronies. You all at thinkprogress seem to have come a long way, baby. Keep it up.

February 2nd, 2005 at 9:57 pmInterview with George W. Bush, NYTimes 8/27/04:
“Showing none of the alarm about [North Korea's] growing arsenal that he once voiced regularly about Iraq, he opened his palms and shrugged when an interviewer noted that new intelligence reports indicate that the North may now have the fuel to produce six or eight nuclear weapons.”
February 2nd, 2005 at 10:14 pmRight. Just like the “bad guys” that made off with all the WMDs that Iraq had been stockpiling. They really are facing some consequences, or they will be, once we figure out who they are. Good thing we went over there to keep a close eye on all those WMDs. Wait, we didn’t find them. Maybe we should just invade the rest of Europe, because they must be somewhere. Unless the “credible evidence” we used to sell the idea of going to war was in fact no more than a lie. No, that couldn’t be it. Bush is a real straight shooter.
And whatever happened with that terrorism paranioa level anyway? With such a massive amount of WMDs unaccounted for, presumably in the hands of terrorists, the alert level should be well into the red.
February 2nd, 2005 at 10:53 pmUmmmm – so we now have a new axis of evil and my question is: once we get some security forces trained in Iraq are we going to send our troops north west in Syria, east to Iran or airlift them to North Korea?
