I stunned that no US media has picked up this story.

2. There is no question that Kim Jong Il
is one sick puppy, and should join Saddam, Mullah Omar, Ariel Sharon, and George Bush on the refuse pile of history.

But since he already has working nukes, he is way down the list of countries we will actually invade to effect our unilateralist policy.
Even Cheney knows a suicide policy that stupid is beyond the pale. Unfortunately, NK is a real ticking bomb, and it *will* go off given time, it is just a question of where, and who will be holding the detonator.

But having said that, there is so much stupid policy already under the bridge that one must be forced to conclude two possiblities that may not be mutually exclusive.
First, that Bush, and his entire staff are among the most inept, ahistorical, short sighted and brain numb idealogues ever to inhabit the executive branch, or there is a criminal conspiracy of such horrible scope and breathtaking audacity that it will be years in the prosecuting of it, and morally bankrupt the Republican party for decades. If it is the latter, I suspect it might have three or four parents, one of whom is a Wahabbist shill named Grover, and none of whom is named George.

4. No reason to invade North Korea
the unilateralist policy is deeply rooted in profit and NK offers little.

Not invading has nothing to do with NK nukes.

"or there is a criminal conspiracy of such horrible scope and breathtaking audacity that it will be years in the prosecuting of it, and morally bankrupt the Republican party for decades.

5. Try blaming 50 years of sanctions imposed by the UN and enforced...
...by the U. S. military.

We're finding out that Saddam didn't kill nearly as many of his own people as we were told, aren't we?

How many Americans have been killed by the policies of FratBoy? How many people of other nationalities have died because of the lies the NeoCons told us to get us into a war with Iraq?

Give it a rest.

6. How many Americans have been killed by the policies of FratBoy?
Fratboy.... I like that.... he's very brave don't you know. What is it that someone said... "a weak man... standing behind (or hiding) a strong country." How apropo.

9. You threaten war to get oil.

8. Platform shoes, lifts, cowboy boots...

7. In times of international difficulty you turn to Clinton cabinet member Bill Richardson.

6. Vanity: permed hair, 14 thousand dollar suits.

5. You were installed through the political and financial machinations of your father.

4. You are a military leader despite questionable military background.

3. Your dad sold chemical & biological weapons and/or mechanisms of delivery to Saddam Hussein.

8. another Top 11
Top 11 reasons the administration withheld for nearly two weeks its knowledge of North Korea's nuclear weapons confession.

11. Misunderstanding: thought it was a 12 day, not 12 hour, time difference between Washington and Pyongyang.

10. Unwilling to release any information until sued by the GAO for it...or even if the GAO does sue for it.

9. Trying to confirm that nuclear weapons and nucular weapons are the same thing.

8. Checking North Korean satellite photos for indications of petroleum reserves.

7. Needed a couple of weeks to teach Dubya how to pronounce Kim Jong Il.

6. Trying to figure out how to spin the fact that with all of their efforts to boost intelligence, our best source is a voluntary confession from a member of the Axis of Evil.

5. Distracted by the sniper story, it's really scary.

4. Couldn't spell Daschle or Gephardt, e-mail kept bouncing back.

3. Didn't want to embarrass Pervais Musharaf for helping North Korea and consequently have to pronounce his name.

2. Kim Jong Il didn't try to kill my dad, okay.

1. Privileged Executive.

10. Mediawhores: DO NOT REPORT THIS.
If you do, Brian Lamb will never invite you to take calls from 68 year old southern women.
