UT never cites errors. Just claims that some assumed error exists. UT, on the other hand, is trying to confuse 'big dic' thinking with intelligent use of 'carrot and stick'. The NY Times reminds us how Def Sec Perry threatened to attack and destroy the DPRK nuclear facilities. Meanwhile, Jimmy Carter negotiated a deal to stop the nuclear program. No 'big dic'. A head located between shoulders was being used. Same strategy was also used to negotiate Milosevic out of office in Serbia. Previously, that DPRK plutonium was locked away in UN sealed buildings because Clinton used logic – not ‘big dic’ diplomacy.
Assuming DPRK exploded a plutonium bomb, then where did that plutonium come from? NY Times sources suggest the bomb was plutonium previously locked and monitored by UN inspectors due to a Jimmy Carter's Nobel Prize winning deal. All was fine until 'big dic' diplomacy deployed a Cold War bias. A mental midget president so refused to talk that the DPRK - with great publicity and fanfare - announced each action, then announced the date of that action, then performed the action with UN inspectors on site .... desperately trying to get George Jr to only talk using large international exposure. DPRK was desperately warning the world of consequences if US refused to talk.
But a 'big dic' president knew better. He knew that America was too weak to talk with the DPRK. Condi Rice still says so today. Eventually, uranium rods were loaded into a small reactor to increase plutonium content – and everyone knew exactly where those rods would be for months. Still George Jr refused to talk. If NY Times sources are correct, this same plutonium, which could have been negotiated back into storage, instead, became the first of maybe 6 or 10 bombs.
UT, whose solution advocates war, would now say tw has posted in error? Where? If that bomb was that plutonium from two years ago, then the bomb exists only because of American 'big dic' diplomacy. A refusal to talk for five years. George Jr refused to talk when clearly that plutonium was a negotiable entity. Too late now.
If this bomb was plutonium - not uranium - then DPRK success has accelerated so quickly that a DPRK crisis will be totally out of control before George Jr's removal. How out of control? Another fact so often ignored. Who has a largest amount - if not most - of the world's plutonium? That problem was posted here in the Cellar so many years ago. UT - you must know that answer because you so avocate a military solution. Tell us where all this plutonium is located?
If this DPRK bomb was that UN monitored uranium, then that plutonium is no longer negotiable. It could have been negotiable had America elected a president with minimal intelligence. Due to his ‘big dic’ diplomacy, that plutonium is now non-negotiable. Just another reason why we should be talking about impeachment before a mental midget can make things incurably worse. If that bomb was that plutonium, then we don't have another three years to 'fear bilateral talk'.
The cost of buying out the DPRK's 'big dic' power brokers has become enormous. By 2008, that cost will be too high for American ‘big dic’ power brokers – who apparently want war anyway. Overwhelming majority of South Koreans have it right. Greatest threat of war comes from a US that could have negotiated those uranium rods back into storage. Apparently, another opportunity for peace has been lost due to a president who says, “Bring it on!” As accurately predicted by a Norwegian's foreign minister, George Jr destroyed the Oslo Accords. Now he has successfully destroyed everything Jimmy Carter accomplished in mid-1990s when the cost of buying out DPRK 'big dics' was so cheap.
NY TImes article cited by UT says suggests far more than UT apparently realizes.
