North Korea Tests a Nuke: Bush Policy Fails
It’s being reported that North Korea has tested a nuclear weapon near Kilju City. If confirmed, it will be a monumental failure of the Bush administration. The six party talks have been a sham and the Bush foreign policy team should be fired.
Expect to see the usual condemnations from the U.N. and others over the next few days. The calls for sanctions will come, but it’s all meaningless. North Korea has proven to the world it has nukes and now the US and Asian allies will have to deal with it. Remember those missile tests a few months ago? What about North Korea working on a long-range missile capable of hitting the US? This nuke test puts all things in a new light. Just wait till Iran has a nuke as well. Can the consequences of these policy failures get any more dire? If I were President, tomorrow morning there would be many State Department people looking for a new job.

The countries of the world will do what they will no matter what the others say.

Tell that to Pakistan, Libya, etc. You better believe nations listen to other more powerful nations. The fact that we don’t have enough influence to get Iran or North Korea to stop their insanity just shows that we have been weakened by the Bush administration foreign policy failures.

I want to know the genius that came up with the “six party talks” to begin with. How can the US State Dept be so inept? Disgusting.
