Brant-
Not to get too political and get into the whole Dems vs. Repubs argument again-but wasn't it during the Clinton Admin that Sect Albright went over to NK, meet with Kim Jung Il, and gave NK either access to technical data and/or the actual componets for the nukes in exchange for a "promise" by KJI that he wouldn't use that in making nukes, but only for peaceful purposes?

Once Sect Albright left, KJI basicially tore up that agreement and continued to develop the nuclear weapons.

If I'm wrong, I'll admit it, but I think I am correct for the most part.

I believe, and don't quote me on this...I need to do some further research...that the US agreed to aid in providing fuel to NK in exchange for ceasing nuclear programs. I cannot recall if this was in the form of fuel oil or a light water reactor...or both...

I DON'T believe that it included technical data or materials for weaponable nuclear production...

Quoted.

Seriously-I also need to do some research on this also--but I do believe that NK got to the point of where they are now, as a result of that "deal" between NK & the Clinton admin.

I am not throwing Clinton under the bus for this, it may have started back under the Bush 1 admin.
