"I despise Clinton, but stateside politics cannot trump actual history. Clinton and Perry had the plan. Okinawa and US bases on the mainland of Japan, were getting into position."

What part of "plans without even an attempt at actual execution are worthless" do you not understand?

My response was to this and specifically this, the article thread:

"ROTTERDAM, The Netherlands -- 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. At the time, he said, North Korea had plans to produce between six and eight nuclear weapons per year."

And some on FR who said that the above was not true or did not happen, i.e. that there was no plan or that we did not come close.

Your task it would seem would be to prove the above italics as false. Be my guest.
