US grants N Korea nuclear funds


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, President 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.

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

3. Yes. I remembered something of the kind.
I also remember Powell praising Clinton's policy towards Korea and being publicly rebuffed for it. (The first of many humiliations)

5. Wonder if this will make any news accounts here in Bizarro World
Or is the story in the M$M that NK is running amok because Clinton was soft on terrorism? :eyes:

6. W just repeated today "I did better than Clinton" (when asked how things
got so bad) I predict these will be his last words when he dies in a sewer choking on his own puke.

7. I've emailed this to several friends and acquaintances
including some who've been Bush supporters in the past. We'll see what they say.
