McCain blames Clinton for Korea. Has the current administration given weapons to be misused as well?

McCain earned my respect for those comments.

If you look at history (and do so. Read the "Rumsfeld Reports" I and II, and newspapers) only Rumsfeld was sounding the alarm about N. Korea. And he was ignored.

The Bush administration alerted the world about N. Korea, now Democrats are trying to blame Bush for it. Talk about shooting the messanger.

As for your comments about McCain, that is asinine. Get your head out of the sand. If nothing else it's a warning not to vote for people who don't admit their mistakes and will repeat them!

John McCain has it wrong. But who listens to him anyway. This was a guy that was firmly against redefining torture for the administration. After lunch with GW he changed his mind.

I think he blamed Clinton because he thought Clinton didn't do enough on Korea. The truth is the GOP distracted the whole country over a stupid sex scandal, waste tax paying dollars to prove the president had sex with some flousy....like who really cares. The rest of the world was laughing at the US that this should be 'big' news.

Prior to that, the food for weapons program was working, later scraped by the White House, who decided to take a more stern line with N Korea. Huge mistake. There are some things you cannot stop, but you can at least try to contain them and maintain somewhat of a diplomatic front, where you keep your enemies closer.

I like McCain but hes grandstanding, the intellegence community is responsible for that and so much more, we trained Bin Ladden, the Shaw, Pineapple Face in Panama, and we end up fighting those the intell community trains equips and finances.

The path McCain is taking is truely pathetic. I respected him in 2000. After all, unlike Bush, he served in the military, was a P.O.W., and I liked what he stood for. Since then he has become nothing but a sell out to the highest bidder, and its very obvious. He stands up to Bush on torture and then cowers to the party line. This latest joke of a tirade yesterday officially sealed the deal for me on him. The idea of voting for him in 08 appealed to me a year ago, but not now. He's done. And I'm a dem.

McCain's remark is sort of like saying, after you left the barn door open and the horses got out, "I blame the carpenter and the locksmith." And don't forget it was Donald Rumsfeld, when he was a private citizen war profiteer, who sold the tech to the North Koreans.

Actually, Donald Rumsfeld was on the corporate board of the company that sold nuclear reactors to the N. Koreans. He lobbied hard for them to be sold when others on the board had reservations.

Tons of tax dollars? I suppose of there was really that much cash it could do some roof damage.

Yes we have. We have given weapons to Afghans, Iraqis, and Lebanese. Who will soon use them against us...again.

most of the current administrations work has been fixing what the last idiot was doing while he was getting bjs in the oval office.
