I used to think Clinton should be shot for his taste in women. Then Mike Price came along. I mean, no one would want to bang her and you'd need extra shocks and struts to avoid bustin your bed spring but Porky McPig can't hold a candle to Horsey McHo on the ugly tree scale.
Anyway, perhaps if we can cum to an agreement on the bone of contention that Clinton is as bad as Rumsfeld then maybe we can agree on a solution. Perhaps neither Clinton nor Rumsfeld should be allowed to have a job in US govt administration again. I'm OK with that.

I can swing with that, but I don't see how this specific case shows Rumsfeld to be unfit for any kind of office. He didn't do any of this while in office.
The entire premise of the thread hinges on that very question, of course it's about that.
No, it's not.

You're trying to turn the thread to be about Bubba. He's no where in site in this discussion except where you're trying to force him in.
You're always so condescending about reading comprehension, why don't you write yourself to make fun of your own lack of reading comprehension?
Didn't we have a thread about this over a year ago? It wasn't news then, and it isn't news now. It's not like this was some secret back-room deal by a shady US arms dealer to supply plutonium to North Korea. The whole point of the 1994 deal was to STOP North Korea from developing nukes, it was done under international auspices, everything was in the light of day, and the light water reactors were to be supplied in place of the much more dangerous reactors that the NK'ians were then building.
You can ask if it's right that our government keeps dishing these contracts to industrial service conglomerates with strong governmental ties, but keep in mind it was the Clinton Admin that gave this one out to Rummy's firm, so damn all the politicans together. And the whole point, to state the obvious again, was to DISarm North Korea, so why should Rummy have had ideological conniptions so bad over it that he would refuse to OK the deal?
Move along. Nothing (unusual) to see here. Just more government-industry 69'ing, but nothing novel about that.

The post above this one is very good, by the way.
