These men could not use diplomacy among themselves, let alone with another nation. Each wants more power and more money. Last year Dick Cheney earned $8,000,000, a salary from the U.S. and commissions from Halliburton. I suppose he will form no-bid contracts for Halliburton to clean up North Korea. Larry Silverstein who leased the WTC for 99 years, 6 weeks for $250,000, yielded $7 billion from insurance policies. Marvin Bush head security on the WTC. His contract with WTC was up on Sept. 11. The WTC was LOSING money. It was a white elephant LOSING money. Employees complained of plaster dust being left in the workplace 2 weeks before 9/11 (from drilling into the plaster). Employees heard forklifts moving around on floors which were empty. Bomb-sniffing dog patrols were taken away from the WTC the Thursday before 9/11. WTC 7 was imploded after not being hit by any plane debris. It takes at least a week to plan to implode a building, does it not?
Does this sound as if it was a conspiracy? If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, then it’s a duck. Giuliani was even involved, destroying evidence. Condi called Willie Brown to tell him not to fly on 9/11. Ashcroft flew charters only.

Wake up America, these fascists are stealing our lives and trying to steal our souls because they think we are clueless and they are above the law.

Yes, Virginia, there is a conspiracy!

Believe me I’m the last person on earth you would call a Rumsfeld apologist but his list of actual crimes is plenty long enough to be damning. You don’t have to go distorting one of the few things he’s done in his sorry life that arguably wasn’t such a bad idea. And if you want to criticize the right wing you need to make damned sure you get your facts straight, because you know their going to come back on you with everything they’ve got if you give them even a glimmer of an opening.

In the wake of the breakdown of the Agreed Framework in 2003, KEDO has largely lost its function. KEDO ensured that the nuclear power plant project assets at the construction site at Kumho, 30 km north of Sinpo, in North Korea and at manufacturers’ facilities around the world ($1.5 billion invested to date) were preserved and maintained. The project is reported to be about 30% complete. One reactor containment building is about 50% complete and another about 15% finished. No key equipment for the reactors has been moved yet to the site.

In 2005 there were reports indicating that KEDO had agreed in principle to terminate the light-water reactor project. On January 9, 2006, it was announced that the project was over and the workers would be returning to their home countries. North Korea demanded compensation and has refused to return the approximately $45 million worth of equipment left behind.

In any case, it looks as if ABB’s work on the project was superceded by a South Korean reactor design which was to be built by South Korean contractors:

The reactor model selected by KEDO as the reference plant design for the LWR project is the ROK’s Korean Standard Nuclear Power Plant (KSNP, see image below). The design is a result of cooperative efforts between the Korea Power Engineering Company (KOPEC), which is the architect engineer and nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) designer, DOOSAN Heavy Industries & Construction Company (for fabrication and procurement of the NSSS), the KEPCO Nuclear Fuel Company (for nuclear fuel), and various construction and startup contractors.

The “seals” that N.Korea recently broke are on these Russian reactors, which, unlike LW reactors, produce a large amount of plutonium.

Believe it or not, Bush probably doesn’t want N.Korea having nuclear weapons.

Both the right wing noise machine about “Clinton arming them”, as well as the left wing “no, Bush armed them” are both idiotic.

Russia and Pakistan armed them. Clinton slowed them down for a while, then Bush ticked them off enough to go break the inspector seals.
