Clinton's Ex-Sec'y of Defense Argued for Us to Attack North Korea Back in 2006

William Perry was one of the architects of the failed Agreed Framework signed in 1994. Twelve years later, he wrote this WaPo article, along with Ashton Carter who worked with him and later ran the DOD under Obama.

Of course NK was not a nuclear power then. Clinton helped make it happen. An attack on Kim now could be very costly for everyone but the cost of not attacking may cost more in the long run.

I agree. LETS attack now, before they GET the bomb and marr it to a missile.. NOT after.

Good Lord....you fuckers act as if the whole world would back an unprovoked attack on NK. that China would just sit willy nilly. That South Korea would love for us to do that because there would be no blowback on them and out troops in SK.... Trade war with China and SK and a war with NK. That should be interesting.

We need to understand that repressive regimes such as North Korea are not bad, just different.

War ? Really you want war? Talk about not learning from history.

All the talk about Nazis and fascism...if only the French or British had acted in 1936 when Hitler violated the Versailles Treaty.

The Treaty of Versailles was so hated by the German populace so that Hitler was able to make the most of that national resentment by painting the Weimar Republic as the "traitorous" government that caused all the economic miseries of the German people by capitulating to the unjust demands of the victors. Hitler even made no secret of his utter contempt towards that Treaty. So if people were stupid enough not to see the writing on the wall, it's on them.

BTW, Dubya is the one who tore the Agreed Framework apart, so he should have known what's forthcoming and should have the fucking balls to deal with it.
