Bill Richardson tells us exactly why a Democrat as President would be a boon for terrorism, and a danger to America:

“The recent tentative agreement with North Korea over its nuclear program illustrates how diplomacy can work even with the most unsavory of regimes. Unfortunately, it took the Bush administration more than six years to commit to diplomacy. During that needless delay North Korea developed and tested nuclear weapons — weapons its leaders still have not agreed to dismantle. Had we engaged the North Koreans earlier, instead of calling them “evil” and talking about “regime change,” we might have prevented them from going nuclear. We could have, and should have, negotiated a better agreement, and sooner.”

Absolutely clueless, and he would be President.

As anyone with a brain who has examined the so-called agreement with the North Koreans knows it’s a bad deal and in fact just another one of Kim’s extortion moves. Of course Richardson wouldn’t have seen this no more than his former boss Clinton did in ‘94 when the North Koreans suckered them with the so-called Agreed Framework.

Fact is that if Clinton would have done his job in 1999 and confronted North Korea when it became known that they were in fact pursuing uranium via Pakistan there would be no “sabre-rattling” now.

Now Richardson wants to apply this kowtowing to terrorism with the Iranians.

“A better approach would be for the United States to engage directly with the Iranians and to lead a global diplomatic offensive to prevent them from building nuclear weapons. We need tough, direct negotiations, not just with Iran but also with our allies, especially Russia, to get them to support us in presenting Iran with credible carrots and sticks.”

Yeah, Richardson would just lay on a little “John Kerry Co-Dependent Oh Please Don’t Hurt Us” foreign policy to get the Iranians to stop acting up.

No thanks Bill, we got into the danger we face today because of people like you who were in charge yesterday.
