Clinton Threatened to Attack North Korea

[Gatekeeper]

GP:

I was under the impression that Scott Ritter pulled up his stakes because the inspection teams were riddled with intelligence agents, not because inspections weren't being pushed hard enough.

My boy? I never sired/gave/birth to/owned/fellated Clinton at any point, good sir.

I guess I should know that since I met his mother long ago.

I thought this was old news?

It was discussed openly when Carter got the Peace Prize, since he was the mediator that defused the situation and got us to the Agreed Framework. Carter pulled Clinton's nuts out of the fire.

Of course, the Agreed Framework is toast right now, so Clinton might not want to own up to the bastard he sired.

I watched several hours of the testimony. Did you? Ritter specifically said that the US told the UN to tell the inspectors not too push on various inspections. The administration did this through back channels and secretly because they did not want a confrontation but wanted to maintain a fiction that we were not weakening on inspections. (Obviously that fiction was only for the benefit of the general public.)

Go read Ritter's testimony. (I'm not making this up. You could disagree with Ritter. You could even disagree with my interpretation. But certainly, he did say that the administration tried to stop the inspectors from various showdowns and did so secretly. Albright, etc. did not Ritter's claims...or even justify the actions. They just said it was none of Ritter's business what the US decided to do in backchannel UN armtwisting.)

I'll go look up some stuff on the net.
