I think a new Freeper rule is in order. This picture must be on any thread mentioning North Korea nukes.

Should be a interesting take on what Rush has to say today.
Present and accounted for....at work!
Making glasses and lurkin'.............
NK is very serious problem. Iran is close behind.
We are reminded of how badly the Clinton 90's era did nothing. We are reminded that there are people in the world that want to kill us for being us. Dems/media want us to go back to the 90's where we were all fat dumb and happy--that gave us 9/11 and 3,000 dead Americans. No thank you. Not this time.
When it comes to the issues that really matter, Dems have nothing to talk about. They boxed themselves into a corner with no ideas and no solutions. Bush hate and scandal is what they offer voters in November. That will motivate kook Dem voters, I do not think that is enough when people enter the booth and pull the lever. In the end, people still vote issues and want to vote for something.
I think that will be the Rush's theme today.
Thanks for the ping...sono mode.
This may just be corporations and HNW individuals taking profits now before the rates go up. If true it is a bad portent for November.
Rush's Internet feed is playing Duran Duran's song "The Reflex," which saddens me deeply.
Yes we should have been using the kind if diplomacy that Clinton and Albright used for eight years, which was bending over and grabbing the ankles, GIVING North Korea the technology and materials they needed to make this nuclear device and surely others, possible. But then, that’s Bush’s fault too. The media has already spun it as though North Korea didn’t start their nuclear weapons program until January 20th, 2001, and they weren’t doing ANY nuclear research before then, despite Clinton having had provided North Korea with nuclear materials, necessary equipment, and other necessary technology, accepting a promise not to use them for nuclear weapons. Accepting a promise from a man that has never kept any promises he’s made all his life. He learned well from his father.
The dictator of North Korea gladly starves his family to maintain his military and chemical, biological, and now nuclear arsenals. What promise can be trusted from a man who starves his people to maintain his totally unnecessary military? The only wars on that peninsula the past 100 years have been started by nations that were not democracies. Japan, and North Korea. Since WWII, Japan has not attacked North Korea, and South Korea has never attacked North Korea since the two were split.
One thing is for sure, and it’s a point the democrats will NEVER admit to or make themselves for certain. Of the three most hostile and unstable nations in the world that were sponsors of terror and seekers of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons, the only one that we are CERTAIN has no chemical, biological and nuclear weapons, is Iraq, the one we used military force against to remove the dictator and start a democratically elected government. That’s the bottom line. Oh, and Libya voluntarily giving up their chemical, biological and nuclear weapons programs because dictator Qadaffi was so scared we’d do to him what we did to Hussein, that’s a bonus. When military action was taken against Iraq, their banned weapons programs ceased to exist, and so did Libya’s by proxy. And Iraq did have WMD, there are tons of banned materials that were removed the past three years from Iraq that he swore he didn’t have, including the hundreds of sarin gas long range artillery shells, and the nearly three tons of enriched (yellow cake) uranium that was removed from Iraq in 2004, which Hussein swore to the world he didn’t have. Oh, Joe Wilson also swore Hussein didn’t have it. And yet, there it is. Hussein and Joe Wilson and the Democrats alike say the same thing to Americans every time; "What are you going to believe? Us? Or your lying eyes?" The idea that Iraq had no WMD before March of 2003 is the biggest new urban legend. It’s flatly untrue and military storage sites in America and Iraq and full of banner weapons materials that shouldn’t have been there, but were, and it’s documented for anyone who is more concerned with reality over their obsessive political agenda.
The nations in which diplomacy has been used, at the urging of the Democrats, North Korea and Iran, well lets see, they break all promises, ignore all deadlines, and North Korea now has nuclear weapons, and Iran is close to having them, if they don’t already. And this crap that Bush didn’t use the right kind of diplomacy is such a red herring. There are only so many kinds of diplomacy. Clinton got NO WHERE with North Korea or Iran, they had eight years of unfettered access to whatever materials they wanted, and furthered their chemical and biological and nuclear weapons programs with nary a "boo" from the Clinton White House. Now Democrats continue to rant about "talking" to Iran and North Korea. I swear, the people leading the liberal charge for diplomacy with North Korea and Iran are the stupidest smart people in the whole world. There is only one thing that radical tyrannical dictators like Kim Jong-Il and Ahmadinejad understand. Force of arms and pounding on a table. They do not respond to diplomacy, they laugh at us inside when we "dialogue" with them and think we’re fools for just talking. Diplomacy has pointed out the weakest of all world governments in these situations, just like before WWI and WWII. The sooner America understands that, the better. Otherwise, that TV show "Jericho" will become the new 9-11 reality, and the fault will belong exclusively with those who want to use "diplomacy" with North Kore and Iran.
This North Korea nuke test will NOT help the Democrats. It will focus voter attention on real issues in the world, and off of Foley, which has been hyped so far beyond the point of fact and rationality it's ridiculous. Voters have a decision to make now. Which is more important, Foley, who's resigned, or North Korea, who detonated a nuclear device last night? A nuclear device which was constructed with materials and equipment that Clinton let them have during the 90s. This also proves what I said in my rant that diplomacy doesn't work. Eight years of talking from Clinton, and five from Bush, and it did no good. North Korea and soon Iran, have nuclear weapons. Iraq on the other hand definitely does not have chem bio or nuclear weapons. Period. It's that simple.
Hey MN, tired... snatching links last night before the 'they' snatch them. Watching PBS special online re: the 1994 agreement hose up. McCain, Libby and others were pissed. Gotta watch it while it's there.
For later:

They were already spinning by 12 last night... Bush's fault.
I bet Carter, Clinton and Albright have the Quinones (not Kenneth), to say something. Let me see... we tried to warn W.... (never mind Clinton couldn't even go there towards the end of his presidency, and it wasn't because he was tough on Kim either... congress wouldn't be fooled again and cut funds on KEDO and the oil).
Oh btw, Rove was blamed at DU 5 minutes after... you know, to keep the focus off Defoliation (Foley).
