Liz Cheney Blames George Bush for North Korea Situation

Oh Liz, you have to go back to Truman and Ike. Truman's limited war didn't work; Ike's truce didn't work. Sometimes you have to win. Easier in 1953 than now.

I blame Harry Truman as he pulled General Mac off the attack... See what you get when you don't finish what you get involved with...

Amazing what some Republicans "leaders" will say. I think a couple of years wondering in the political wilderness has made them (more) crazy. I mean, what did Bush Jr do that was so different than President Obama? While I agree that we ought to take advantage of North Korea's weakness in terms of their lack of adequate food and fuel, I fail to see how spending more money on our military than all other countries combined has made us so weak. North Korea got those nukes under Bush Jr, when instead President Clinton drew the line on them removing those nuclear fuel rods. What I see is Republicans having a dangerous failure of memory, and using National Security as just another chip in their grand game against their Democratic rivals. Shame on them!!

We should sink some of the North Korean cargo vessels on the high seas. It would be good practice for our sub fleet. The North Koreans wouldn't have a clue. The Israelis know that force is the only way to deal with terrorists. China should be told that we will nuke their North Korean proxy if they attack South Korea. If it wasn't for Chinese help, North Korea would have collpsed a long time ago. China is the real threat to America's existence as a world class power. It could bankrupt America in a day if it wanted to!

North Korea learned its bad behavior from us and China. If they use force, or nuclear weapons, China and the US need to have their response in hand. They are formulating and offering negotiations which probably won't make North Korea respond. Clinton and Bush knew dealing with the Korean peninsula would involve force in the future. The future is on our horizon now, and war there is tangible.

This problem start long before Bush. As always who is to blame? I think the real question now is what are we going to do now?

......no one stopped Hitler resulting in the death of 60 million people. The UN needs to make a decision on this dufus, he either lives or dies, so the rest of us can go on living.

The North Korean problem goes back much further than President Bush. As ayyiyicaramba said below, the USS Pueblo is paraded around as a huge victory over the US and Bill Clinton went so far as to put a naval blockade of North Korea in place, only to have the worst President in modern times, Jimmy Carter, go and begin negotiations that started the entire concessions parade. We should have sunk the Pueblo and kept the blockade in place, instead, we pulled the blockade, gave them millions in aid and fuel oil AND stood back and let them build a nuclear bomb. The weakness projected by the Obama administration has only boldened rogue nations like Iran and North Kores, which, as any student of history can tell you, repeats itself over and over. After the Cheonan was sunk by the North Koreans, we were supposed to do war games in the Yellow Sea, but China pressured Obama and we moved them thousands of miles away to the other side of South Kores, away from the North. Yet another victory to embolden them to shell a civilian occupied island. Weakness projected by America at work, we'll probably give them more assistance to settle down in the same pattern set up by Jimmy Carter!!

Remember when Bush labeled Iran, Iraq, and N. Korea as 'the axis of evil' and failed to do anything about it. Yes he attacked Saddam in Iraq but 7 years later the country is more broken than it was [under Saddam] and now Al Qaida is there that was not there when Saddam was in power. No president has a worse record of failure when it comes to foriegn policy than Bush and for once I gotta agree with Liz Cheney!

Most presently China has gotten North Korea to attend an emergency meeting in China where North Korea, China, Japan, Russia,and the US will sit and talk. Nothing will get accomplished. North Korea will agree to do somethings just to get the food, medicines and other goodies offered. If if they agree to take down their nooks,they never will. The will never allow inspections. We have been playing this same stupid game with the nut ball for a leader in North Korea sine the cease fire agreement. We have put up with his little war games and attacks on South Korea and US ships for almost 60 years. When is enough going to be enough. He is getting ready to turn powers over to his youngest son who will be worse then he is.
