An excerpt from the article:

"America's national security adviser has suggested that North Korean leader Kim Jong Il's motive for any nuclear test could be to affect the U.S. election.

"The North Koreans would only succeed in isolating themselves further if they're somehow trying to gain negotiating leverage or their own October surprise," Condoleeza Rice said.

U.S. President George W. Bush is holding out for verifiable dismantlement, and North Korea may think his Democratic opponent, John Kerry, would have a different agenda.

"Their immediate goal is to hope Sen. Kerry prevails because they think he would be a more flexible negotiating partner," said Mike O'Hanlon from the Brookings Institution."

So basically Kim Jong Il is voting for Kerry and you would have to be a communist mad man to do the same. This is total bullshit but for someone who doesn't follow politics, they could easily buy it. Forget the fact that North Korea could be testing nuclear weapons. That's not the issue here. The issue is Jong Il is attempting to determine our election. A foreign communist trying to determine our election? I'm voting for Bush!

It's clear that North Korea would be in a worse situation under Kerry. Kerry will actually pay attention to North Korea instead of focusing on countries that don't have weapons of mass destruction not to mention nuclear weapons. Kerry will have better international ties and that will help the army be more stretched out. Right now it's so thin that there is no way we could attack North Korea without a draft and I really think a draft would set off a revolution in this country. I know many people would rather take up arms against oppressors here then people in a nation far away that have never done any harm to our land in the past.

"The North Koreans would only succeed in isolating themselves further if they're somehow trying to gain negotiating leverage or their own October surprise," Condoleeza Rice said.

4. Freepers are blaming Clinton for allowing NK to make Nukes

5. Ah the blame Clinton excuse, too bad he had North Korea

agree in 1994 to an accord in which the U.S. pledged to replace Pyongyang's graphite reactors, which are capable of producing weapons-grade material, with the safer light-water plants and North Korea halted their program in exchange.

North Korea's program halted until 2003 when North Korea told China that they possesed at least one nuclear bomb. Now let's think, 2003, the US should be able to intervene... oh wait no, we are in Iraq. It looks like Bush was the one who let North Korea get a nuclear bomb.

6. Their nuclear program goes back to when Ronnie

was in office. Clinton was the first to actually do something about it.

7. Kerry can run almost to Bush's right on this issue.

Bush named NK part of his "Axis Of Evil," and then did absolutely nothing about them while they restarted their nuclear weapons program. They knew they would be safe because our military was tied up elsewhere. They picked their spot, and Bush gave them their opening. While he knocked off a soft Iraq, a tough and crafty North Korea thumbed its nose at him, just like Iran is doing. Where's the "Bush Doctrine?" He's weak, weak, weak.

8. I forgot about the whole Axis of Evil

I imagine that has been the Bush & company's plan for quite some time now. The Kerry campaign needs to hammer Bush on the Axis of Evil. Both North Korea and Iran have gone forth in nuclear weapons programs meanwhile, the weakest of the Axis has us bogged down in a nation building program.
