So What About North Korea?
Well...
What a disturbing world we live in when a country going nuclear -and therefore has the capicity to use nuclear weapons against America and her allies- is considered a boon politically.
But that's just how John McCain sees it:
I believe McCain's transformation from a "maverick" to "toadie of the neo-conservatives" is complete. Keep in mind, this was the same guy who routinely challenged Bush before his desire to be president overcame his common sense.
Of course, McCain was only protecting Bush because the president plans on taking action, right? Wrong:
At today's confusing press conference, Bush basically said he's taking a different approach with North Korea (as opposed to Iraq). It seems like he's going to the other extreme: not doing a thing until everyone he classifies as a "participant" comes to the table for talks.
The only good thing about all this is that Bush only labeled three countries part of his "Axis of Evil."
"North Korea's explosive declaration that it has joined the ranks of nuclear-armed nations is the sort of shock wave that at first glance would seem to provide a boost to Republican candidates.
One month before election day, with the GOP mired in a congressional sex scandal, the emergence of a new global threat and a renewed focus on national security seems to play right into a Republican strength with an issue that has secured their national majority the past two elections. "

But that's just how John McCain sees it:
"The North Korean nuclear crisis is causing a political showdown in the United States between Sen. John McCain and his potential rival in the race for the White House, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and her husband, Bill Clinton.
McCain is pinning the blame for North Korea's recent claims of nuclear testing on former President Clinton. He is also attacking the New York senator for her stance on North Korea.
On Tuesday, McCain accused former President Clinton of failing to act in the 1990s to stop North Korea from developing nuclear weapons. "

"The Bush administration, under fire for policies that have failed to stop North Korea from advancing its nuclear-weapons arsenal, ruled out direct talks with the North after its apparent nuclear test.
Instead, the United States and other world powers on Tuesday began discussing U.N. sanctions on North Korea that would authorize inspection of cargo going to or
coming from the country to halt weapons-related transfers."
