[...] Bush officials have been reported as actually wanting North Korea to have nuclear weapons…because as any scum of the earth knows, war is good for business. Until now, no U.S. official in any administration has ever advocated the testing of nuclear weapons by another country, even by allies such as the United Kingdom and France. [...]

Would someone explain to me why i’m supposed to be so scared of obl?Or why anyone should fear these cowards?Why have americans become such a bunch harvey milqtoasts?Fight them here or fight them there doesn’t matter much to me because either way they’re going to get there turbans torn off with heads still inside.No,what you folks need to be afraid of is George Bush,this boy has singlehandedly taken away the very essence of what once made this a great country and most of you aren’t even aware of this fact yet.And most won’t until the “Patriot Act” is used against you or family member.Or at some future date someone in the WH doesn’t like what you said on one of these blogs and you become a victim of “rendition”.Go ahead and laugh,but the day is coming quicker than you think as long as simian george remains in the WH.

“79. Canâ€™t this be turned against them?
Every time a Democrat opposed the war, they were accused of treason.
Canâ€™t the 6PM news make a headline story on this one – Republicans want a nuclear Korea to jusfity war.”

Yes the 6pm news could make a headline out of this, but they won’t because they are republican corporate toadies.

ROTFL – I’ll bet NK is not the Oct surprise, and I can’t wait to check back here to see what it is going to be to see you go nuts as you ROTFL and still be in the minority. Of all the popular guesses as to what the surprise will be, here’s my guess: Conservatives don’t believe the mainstream’s cheerleading for the dems and actually turn out to vote becuase we realize that even if EVERY thing you say about Repubs is true, it is still better than having a party in power who would give more rights to a terrorist than they would a gun owner.

I’ll check back – and you’re going to go blind typing ROTFL one handed so much.

[...] I was a bit skeptical when I saw this headline, REPORT: Bush Officials Were â€˜Rootingâ€™ For North Korea to Test Nuclear Weapon. After all, who in their right mind would want North Korea to test a nuclear weapon. It looks like Think Progress can back up their story with this story at The Washington Post (emphasis mine): At many points, the United States found itself at odds with other partners in the six-party process, such as China and South Korea, which repeatedly urged the Bush administration to show more flexibility in its tactics. Meanwhile, administration officials were often divided on North Korea policy, with some wanting to engage the country and others wanting to isolate it. [...]

Of course the administration was rooting for the North Koreans to test. That is why they abandoned the monitoring program left in place by the previous administration that was keeping the North Korean’s ambitions in check.
In much the same way that the BushCo/PNAC cabal encouraged and facilitated the attacks on the United States on September 11th.
Keeping the electorate in perpetual fear is the order of the day. If the current slide of democracy is allowed to continue, it will not be long before the Haliburton built U.S. prisons are brimming with “disappeared” dissenters.

“if you are so supportive of dumbya than you support: killing of innocence including our young men and woman in bduâ€™s, imminent domain, pork spending, backdoor drafts, bildaberg, k-street, military commisions act, torture, lying, halliburton, pnac, nwo, carlyle group, bohemian grove, skull&bones, awol, destruction of constitution & habeas corpus, illegal invasion & occupation of other countries, theft of oil, anti-privacy, sympathize with the nazis & zionists, tax-cuts for the rich, stiff the poor, elderly & middle class, LIE LIE LIE, and oâ€™ did i say LIE.”

So your saying that the Democrats won’t have pork spending? Are you saying they will reduce the Budget? Are you saying they will shut Halliburton down? Are you saying we won’t use Oil anymore? How are the repugs hurting the Elderly and how will the Dems better help them? Social Secuirty is bankrubting us and the Repugs are doing nothing about it. Are you saying the Dems will finally shut that program down which would help the middle class, young, and poor? Hrmm, I guess I’ll vote Dem if that is what your saying!!!

The government in Pyongyang supports Bush! This is a polical move by North Korea to get Republicans elected. Isn’t is it “interesting that” North Korea would do this right before the midterm elections. (sarc)
