Capt Ed has a “guest post” by Senator John McCain (R?), here. I have to admit the old boy came out and jack-slapped old Witchy Poo Hillary back to Arkansas on the North Korea issue. In fact, I think Bill has asked to go on Chris Wallace again and vent…..
Welcome rehortic, and it is one that McCain is sometimes consistent on, National Security. But I’m suspicious if he’s not trying to woo us back from the precipice of his past actions that told another story.

The real player here is China. (This is a fascinating read – highly recommended). Encourage Japan/South Korea/ Taiwan to enter nuclear arena unless Kim falls.

4I think national security might be the only issue I agree with McCain and even with that, I hate what I saw on Abu Ghraib, torture bills and the whiny ‘more troops and trashing Rummy’.
That is just my list on security. I am still glad he shot back. I have one question and it seems to be the one question I have asked on every single issue from day one. Over and over as I see Republicans take a beating…..
Where the hell are the other Senators? Why don’t I see them waiting in a line to get to the camera? Immediately. Why do these fools let these attacks go unanswered? Why don’t they shoot FIRST for a change?

Sen. McCain Notes Clinton ‘Failure’ on North Korea
Republican Sen. John McCain on Tuesday accused former President Clinton, the husband of his potential 2008 White House rival, of failing to act in the 1990s to stop North Korea from developing nuclear weapons.
“I would remind Senator (Hillary) Clinton and other Democrats critical of the Bush administration’s policies that the framework agreement her husband’s administration negotiated was a failure,” McCain said at a news conference after a campaign appearance for Republican Senate candidate Mike Bouchard.
“The Koreans received millions and millions in energy assistance. They’ve diverted millions of dollars of food assistance to their military,” he said.
Democrats have argued President Clinton presented his successor with a framework for dealing with North Korea and the Republican fumbled the opportunity. In October 2000, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright made a groundbreaking visit to Pyongyang to explore a missile deal with Chairman Kim Jong Il. There was even talk of a visit by President Clinton.
The initial breakthrough occurred in October 1994 when U.S. negotiators persuaded North Korea to freeze its nuclear program, with onsite monitoring by U.N. inspectors. In exchange, the United States, with input from South Korea and Japan, promised major steps to ease North Korea’s acute energy shortage
