BEING "VERY FIRM ABOUT IT" Concerning the chilling prospect of North Korea acquiring nuclear weapons, President Bill Clinton insisted in 1993 that "
North Korea cannot be allowed to develop a nuclear bomb. We have to be very firm about it."
And here's how Clinton implemented his "very firm" policy of preempting North Korea's quest for nukes.
Newsmax reports:
A country designated by President Bush as part of the "axis of evil" received more foreign aid during President Clinton's two terms than any other country in the Asia-Pacific region, a congressional study concluded two years ago.
House Republican Policy Committee Chairman Christopher Cox, R-Calif., said the study conducted by his panel found that under the Clinton administration, North Korea became the "largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid in the Asia-Pacific region," according to the committee's report as quoted by CNSNews.com.
"In an astonishing reversal of nine previous U.S. administrations, the Clinton-Gore administration, in 1994, committed not only to provide foreign aid for North Korea, but to earmark that aid primarily for the construction of nuclear reactors worth up to $6 billion," the Cox Committee contended.
Wow. And
that's Clinton's idea of being very firm? What would've happened had Clinton not been so firm.....hmmmm.....perhaps America's nuclear labs would have been left unlocked so enemy spies could steal our most vital defense secrets. Oh. Wait. That happened, too.
The Clinton administration's all-you-can-eat buffet of foreign policy and security blunders is so extensive and so damaging to America's interests that, at times, it's difficult not to wonder if Bill Clinton was really on our side.
