Default Dear Leader feeling a bit full of himself

http://www.breitbart.com/news/na/cp_w101708A.xml.html

So, after successfully having threatened and cajoled the Clinton administration into giving him what he wants, Dear Leader is going to try his hand with the UN.

It might work. They may be readying the white flags right now...

I've said it before, but Kim Jong Il is just one of those people you hate to play poker with. The dirty little baystard has an 8 high, and he's all in.

He is in the Axis of Evil....he can't just be some two bit dictator hiding in spider holes if he is going to meet that calling.

I hear he got around the golf course in 17 the other day. At the last hole, he just looked at the ball and it jumped off the tee and into the hole.

I get the feeling you were going for "witty rejoinder". What you came up with is a different story...

The only wit I have is dim

DIdn't Rummy sell N. Korea the reactors?
I figure you'd want to bring that up, since you keep saying how you aren't just a GOP mouthpiece, right?

Rumsfeld sat on ABB's board from 1990 to 2001, earning $190,000 a year. ABB is a European engineering giant based in Zürich, Switzerland. In 2000 this company sold two light water nuclear reactors to KEDO for installation in North Korea, as part of the 1994 agreed framework reached under President Bill Clinton.

The sale of the nuclear technology was a high-profile contract. ABB's then chief executive, Goran Lindahl, visited North Korea in November 1999 to announce ABB's "wide-ranging, long-term cooperation agreement" with the communist government. Mr. Rumsfeld's office said that the Secretary of Defense did not "recall it being brought before the board at any time". But ABB spokesman Bjorn Edlund told Fortune that "board members were informed about this project."

He "didn't recall".
(That means "I'm lying right now".)

I didn't know that rummy sold them the reactors. I seem to recall that they had reactors prior to the Bush administration--in fact, I seem to recall Clinton pledging to help build them a reactor, but I don't know if it was the same reactor.

When was Rummy in the "reactor sales" business?


OH--I just read your link. So, you think the "rummy sold reactors to NK" is the same thing as "Rummy was on the board of a company that helped build reactors for NK". For goodness sake, don't check what democrats sit on what boards--you'll kill yourself when you realize that the democrats sit on boards of directors, too.
