It might have worked if you posted it somewhere else.
The North Koreans restarted their nuclear weapons and missile development programs during the Bush administration's watch. It accelerated as the Iraq war began.
North Korea had every intention of continuing its nuclear development before the ink was dry on the 1994 agreement. As with all totalitarian nations that laugh as they pull the useful idiots around by the nose, they used the negotiations to stall for time.
Check out this timeline of North Korea's interaction with nuclear inspection and regulation agencies. Page through it. Notice, like Iraq, a consistent pattern of deception, avoidance, concealment, outright lies, delays, and general bloody-mindedness. Feel free to pay special attention to the periods after the Great Agreement of 1994.
This new missile technology is being developed during Mr. Bush's third year in office.
If you think North Korea suddenly got the appetite for developing long-range nuclear-capable missiles when Bush was elected, I have a bridge to sell you. While the Left routinely makes a hobby of trying to blame every evil on the planet on America, most of it is pretty lame. So is this. This document is informative, if a bit detailed.
As for your claims that the Clinton administration gave the Chinese classified missile technology, that's just pure and utter nonsense.
Not quite utter nonsense, although it would be more accurate to say that the Clinton administration fiddled while others sent China technology that China diverted for military use. An article on the controversy can be found in that famous right-wing rag, Salon. As the article points out, Clinton was not alone in being a bit loose in this area.
I heartily agree that North Korea is on the short list for nations that something needs to be done about*. The situation is complicated by having China squatting on its north end--one of several reasons we are talking, not bombing--but that could be used in our favor. I don't think China wants a nuclear nutcase on its south border either.
*Also Iran, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. In fact, when it comes to sharing information and technology on missiles and nuclear weapons, Iran, Pakistan and North Korea are practically a nuclear missile circle-jerk. Needless to say, each of these nations requires its own approach, not necessarily military.

Nice try.
