What IS it with 'Rats and their "plans" which are never implemented or even revealed until after the fact to cover their collective @ss?

Wasn't Kerry just filled to the brim with "plans," too? Gawd, these people are self-serving scum who give not one whit for America or her citizens. We CANNOT allow them to regain any more power than they already have.

[stockstrader]

OMG! How can he spew crap like that with a 'straight face'???

Then why did his 1994 Agreement with North Korea give them the financial means to develop nuclear weapons (the 'aid package to include cash and fuel oil), and the technological means to do it too (the two NUCLEAR REACTORS)?

Clinton is shameless, ABSOLUTELY SHAMELESS!

[Perdogg]

Clinton's Schedule Oct 1st, 1997:

Talk with DCI about Bin Laden.

Talk with State Department about North Korea.

Meet with my favorite intern.

[Yo-Yo]

Clinton left detailed plans to nuke N. Korea. Clinton left detailed plans to nuke Iran. Clinton left detailed plans to nuke bin Laden.

Too bad Clinton never put his own plans into action.

Going anti-ballistic; the Clinton administration shoots down national missile defense
(snip)
LISTEN TO ABUL ABBAS, MASter-mind behind the 1985 Achille Lauro hijacking: "Revenge takes 40 years; if not my son, then the son of my son will kill you. Some day, we will have missiles that can reach New York."

Only a few years ago, such a boast would have been dismissed as the lunatic fantasy of a self-aggrandizing terrorist. That is no longer the case. During his confirmation hearings, President Clinton's CIA director, R. James Woolsey Jr., told the Senate Government Affairs Committee that long-range missiles capable of attacking U.S. cities will be available on the international arms market by the end of this decade. China is currently developing three new intercontinental ballistic missiles and already hawks to Third World governments smaller missiles like the CSS-2, which has a range in excess of 1,500 miles. North Korea produced some of the Scuds used by Iraq during the Persian Gulf War. More recently, it has developed the No Dong 1, a medium-range missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads, and has shown little interest in curbing the development (and presumably, deployment) of nuclear weapons. The current scenario is as chilling as any during the Cold War because the most likely targets of limited strikes by outlaw nations or terrorist groups are population centers, not military bases. This harsh new reality makes the Clinton administration's dismissive approach to anti-missile missile systems indefensible. Under the administration's strategy, cities such as Tel Aviv, Seoul, and Riyadh will get U.S. technology to protect their citizens from ballistic missile warheads, while New York, Washington, and Los Angeles will not. This radical change in U.S. defense posture is the result of a one-two punch delivered by then-Secretary of Defense Les Aspin and Rep. Frank McCloskey (D-Ind.), who sits on the House Armed Services Committee. A SPIN DOWNGRADED U.S. TERRITORIAL defense when he canceled Star Wars and replaced it with a less ambitious program called the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization. The BMDO will first go after short-range missiles like the Scuds fired at Saudi Arabia and Israel during the Gulf War. Defense of U.S. borders, which was the primary objective of former President Ronald Reagan's 11-year-old Strategic Defense Initiative, was relegated to second place.

In an apparently coordinated move, McCloskey served as the administration's point man in putting national missile defense on indefinite hold. During the 1994 defense authorization, McCloskey introduced an amendment to the three-year-old Missile Defense Act that effectively cancels efforts to use interceptor missiles to defend U.S. population centers.

If it was true that Clinton despired Carter than why did Clinton go along with him in relation to NK?

[stockstrader]

So Clinton had plans???

He had 'plans' for EVERYTHING--to include Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Jennifer Flowers, Juanita Broaddrick and Monica to name a few.

[Trailerpark Badass]

I'm sure the military has operations proposals for just about every contingency in the world. How Bill Clinton can take credit for that is beyond me.

I think the magnitude of his failure as president is starting to gnaw at him.

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton says he had plans in the early 1990s to attack and destroy North Korea's nuclear facilities after the secretive communist state was found to be producing weapons-grade plutonium.

My God, even the world can see that he was full of shi'ite ..... every time something bad comes out ...

"Well I had plans ..... "

Results require execution.

"Former U.S. President Bill Clinton says he had plans in the early 1990s to attack and destroy North Korea's nuclear facilities after the secretive communist state was found to be producing weapons-grade plutonium."

HA!!!

Can y'all believe this crap.
If this doesn't make you want to puke your guts out, I don't know what will.
I mean we know it's The Clinton News Network but this is taking it a bit far, even for the pathetic propagandists at CNN.

Only thing surprising is the source, it didn't originate with our *friends*.

...at The Associated Quislings. ;^)

William Jefferson "shoulda,coulda,woulda" Clintoon

[Elyse]

Was he going to bomb them when Madeline Albright was over there sucking up to Jong???

Words can't describe how ugly that mental picture is. I need to wash my brain out with soap now.

[Perdogg]

My point was, is it worse to lie about having no plan or to have a plan and not do anything?

[Spunky]

"Former U.S. President Bill Clinton says he had plans in the early 1990s to attack and destroy North Korea's nuclear facilities after the secretive communist state was found to be producing weapons-grade plutonium."

He was planning this at the same time he was planning on how to get Monica Lewinsky to give him a BJ in the Oval Office.

Didn't people always claim he could multi task? It appears he can't as he only accomplished the BJ.

[stockstrader]

How credible is his claim of 'plans' to attack--when in 1994 he went and SOLD them two nuclear power plants and gave them the money to buy them??

Slick is an absolutely a SHAMELESS liar. Unnbelievable.

[stylin19a]

Under the deal, known as the Agreed Framework, the North had agreed to mothball its reactor and abandon efforts to construct nuclear weapons, pending the construction of two advanced reactors that do not produce weapons-grade material.

However, in October North Korean officials told a visiting U.S. delegation they had continued with their weapons program in contravention of the deal."

[1Old Pro]

LOL, and Andrea Mitchell says it's all Bush's fault and clintoon and halfbright had n.korea giving up their weapons and pledging to donate all their defense budget to the girl scouts.

[Eva]

I thought that all Presidents had to have contingency plans in place for situations like the N. Korean nuclear proliferation program. There would have been something seriously wrong if Clinton did not have a plan in place in case plan A didn't work. The clincher is that plan A didn't work and plan B was still not activated.

Bill Clinton's predilection for all things oral, was his downfall. All oral and no action

[stockstrader]

As John Bolton told John Kerry during Bolton's confirmation hearings (when Kerry FLAUNTED the 1994 Agreement)--"yes, and the North Koreans started VIOLATING that Agreement the very next day"!!

Thanks Slick.
