Can you believe that motherfuckingshit? Is there ANYWHERE they won't go?

"This is just another chapter in the Bill Clinton saga of giving weapons technology to enemies of the United States. He's provided missile technology to the Chinese, which increased the accuracy of their ballistic missiles, and he provided nuclear technology to the North Koreans that eventually enabled them to develop nuclear weapons."

Wow.

1. Who is at fault?
Did we suddenly forget that Nixon dealt with the Chinese? Reagan was supplying weapons to god only knows who. Daddy Bush funded plenty of the things hurting us today

6. Hahaha - that would make a good comic strip...

LOL

3. FORD. CHENEY. RUMSFELD. WOLFOWITZ.
Edited on Sat Apr-15-06 10:58 AM by LynnTheDem
Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and outgoing Deputy Secretary Paul Wolfowitz held key national security posts when the Ford administration made the opposite argument 30 years ago. Ford's team endorsed Iranian plans to build a massive nuclear energy industry, but also worked hard to complete a multibillion-dollar deal that would have given Tehran control of large quantities of plutonium and enriched uranium -- the two pathways to a nuclear bomb.

Iran, a U.S. ally then, had deep pockets and close ties to Washington. U.S. companies, including Westinghouse and General Electric, scrambled to do business there.

...the United States tried to accommodate Iranian demands for plutonium reprocessing, which produces the key ingredient of a bomb.

After balking initially, President Gerald R. Ford signed a directive in 1976 offering Tehran the chance to buy and operate a U.S.-built reprocessing facility for extracting plutonium from nuclear reactor fuel. The deal was for a complete "nuclear fuel cycle" -- reactors powered by and regenerating fissile materials on a self-sustaining basis.

That is precisely the ability the current administration is trying to prevent Iran from acquiring today.

4. My neighbor, Susan, dropped a bowl of macaroni salad on the patio
last week, and who else is to blame but Bill Clinton?

That Bill Clinton is one malevolent son-of-a-bitch.

8. First of all I don't believe this, It was just reported recently
that Iran got their nuke plans from Pakistan. Second, they seem to forget about the IRAN-Contra scandal. Why is this asshole not talking about all the weapons Regan and Rummy sold to Iran?

11. I think you'll find the Chinese spied on US for that technology, it saved
Edited on Sat Apr-15-06 11:41 AM by TheBaldyMan
them billions of dollars and about 3 years in missile development. Now their rocket motors are as good as the yankee ones.

on edit: Mark Levin, variously described as a 'RW shock-jock', a 'film-maker', a 'brilliant legal mind' or as I prefer to call him a slimy lawyer and chair of the Landmark Legal Foundation,based at the Ronald Reagan Law Center in DC: a body that has received funding from Exxon in the past, used his various incarnations to trash James Risen after Mr. Risen exposed the FISA spying scandal in the NYT. According to Mr. Levin's brilliant mind this was to promote a book using a year old story.

This is a non-story, the shock-jock-lawyer-film-maker-RW-shill Levin has considerably less journalistic credibility and no demonstrable integrity.

with both Iran and Iraq when we had sanctions against them.

13. Makes sense. Remember when he brokered that deal to...
Trade arms for hostages back in the 80s?

Oh, wait, that wasn't Clinton... that was Reagan acolyte Colonel Oliver North. What was I thinking?

14. Fiction based on a story that is probably true
The CIA sent the Iranians fake plans to lure the Iranian bomb project off course. James Risen (The same NYT journalist who outed Bush's domestic spying program) says the plan backfired. Here is what Risen had to say about it......
