Condi's Definition of "Failure"

Condi called the Clinton era approach to North Korea that included bi-lateral talks and the Agreed Framework a failure.

Josh Marshall, for the second time in as many days, breaks it down so simply that even a Bushie might understand:

"Failure" =1994-2002 -- Era of Clinton 'Agreed Framework': No plutonium production. All existing plutonium under international inspection. No bomb.

"Success" = 2002-2006 -- Bush Policy Era: Active plutonium production. No international inspections of plutonium stocks. Nuclear warhead detonated.

Face it. They ditched an imperfect but working policy. They replaced it with nothing. Now North Korea is a nuclear state.

Facts hurt. So do nukes.
