"North Korea is starving, so they're using their nuclear program to get attention and food and oil. But when you have a nation like Iraq that is hiding and denying its nuclear program, you have to worry"

A laughable assertion from another 'Republican first Conservative second' individual.

We know as fact that North Korea has nuclear weapons. They have openly boasted that they will sell those nuclear weapons to the highest bidder on the black market. In contrast, Iraq has been severly hampered by economic sanctions and is not even close to the nuclear capability of neighboring terrorist Iran. That combined with the laughable Iraqi army -- that surrenders to television crews -- makes for a country that is in no way as much threat to the United States as North Korea (or Iran for that matter).

North Korea and Iran should be our priorities, Iraq should be subsequently dealt with.

OK, Menshevik, what's the NK and Iranian plan? Go ahead. How do you deal with NK. BTW, if Seoul gets nuked, you lose.

North Korea is completely surrounded by heavy hitters; Russia, China, South Korea and Japan. Iran is in it's last gasping moments because the largest portion of their population is under 30 and hates the fundamentalists. They want freedom, love the US, and are ready to overthrow the mullahs. Iraq on the other hand, is surrounded by countries weaker then they are (militarily) and have experienced enough of Saddams aggression to be terrified of him. He knows this. THIS is where the US has to exercise it's power. Saddam hates the US, is undermining us at every turn, and if you don't believe he'd use those weapons on us if he gets the chance you are nuts. Why do you think he has them, because he likes culturing smallpox? He has them because he plans to use them.
