Make no mistake, the developments in North Korea that will eat up most of our news cycles this week and push Foley and probably Iraq off the front pages are the direct result of Bush Administration failures:
"The Bush administration rebuffed North Korea's calls for bilateral talks to solve the crisis, instead pushing for an international framework that forced the North to the bargaining table with the United States, but also China, Japan, Russia and South Korea.
Monday's test, analysts said, provided unmistakable evidence that the six-party framework had failed, leaving Washington and its partners in the region now facing the profoundly more difficult task of disarming a state that has already fulfilled its nuclear ambitions. No nation that has successfully conducted a nuclear test has ever been persuaded to give up the weapons through diplomacy, sanctions or other means."
So when you hear wingnut talking heads saying that this is good for the 'daddy party' as far as November, know that those people are lying to you. Don't be taken in. If anything this should add to the perfect storm that Repubs are currently facing. Tell your friends. And keep talking about Iraq and Foley. A dem takeback, however unlikely, is our best hope to get the country back on track, and being on track is our best and maybe only way to get to the future.
