>"are we slow learners, or what?"

Yes, I think we are:

In April, Bush Gave North Korea the Green Light to Hide Plutonium does this mean we should get Ken Starr out of bed for another impeachment?

On 4-3-02, BBC reported: "The US Government has announced that it will release $95m to North Korea as part of an agreement to replace the Stalinist country's own nuclear programme, which the US suspected was being misused.

Under the 1994 Agreed Framework an international consortium is building two proliferation-proof nuclear reactors and providing fuel oil for North Korea while the reactors are being built.

In releasing the funding, George W Bush waived the Framework's requirement that North Korea allow inspectors to ensure it has not hidden away any weapons-grade plutonium from the original reactors.

Bush argued that the decision was 'vital to the national security interests of the United States.'"

In other words, Bush gave North Korea a GREEN LIGHT TO HIDE WEAPONS-GRADE
PLUTONIUM.

Perhaps somewhere iln here is an explanation of why Duhbya takes a much softer position on the acknowledged violations of North Korea than the imagined and unproven violation of Iraq?

If Clinton had done this, there would be a massive call for impeachment.
