U.S. misled allies about nuclear export

[nigelt]

More lies from the Bush administration.....

In an effort to increase pressure on North Korea, the Bush administration told its Asian allies in briefings earlier this year that Pyongyang had exported nuclear material to Libya. That was a significant new charge, the first allegation that North Korea was helping to create a new nuclear weapons state.

But that is not what U.S. intelligence reported, according to two officials with detailed knowledge of the transaction. North Korea, according to the intelligence, had supplied uranium hexafluoride -- which can be enriched to weapons-grade uranium -- to Pakistan. It was Pakistan, a key U.S. ally with its own nuclear arsenal, that sold the material to Libya. The U.S. government had no evidence, the officials said, that North Korea knew of the second transaction.

Another exposed lie from the Bush Administration. Kinda like Ho-mar and PJ and yet no one seesm to care. We cuss and fight over it and yet they all go back in power in the election. This all just sickens me. Bring back the time like in Caesars days when if you don't like the how tings going on you kill the bastard. JFK should be rolling in his grave because he was a good president and yet he was shot.....why Bush still alve?

Bush Logic: But the un-elected military Govt of Pakistan is OK becuase they are allies in the war on terror. Never mind the fact that they only joined that to get debt relief and loans
