What's That Word? Chutzpah?

Now this is rich:

WASHINGTON -- Democrats seized on North Korea's brazen act to criticize President Bush's record in confronting the communist regime, contending the administration's focus on Iraq ignored legitimate threats.

Democratic Sen. John Kerry, the president's rival in 2004 and a potential 2008 candidate, assailed Bush's policy as a "shocking failure," and said, "While we've been bogged down in Iraq where there were no weapons of mass destruction, a madman has apparently tested the ultimate weapon of mass destruction."

So let me see if I've got this straight: because we're in Iraq, that allowed North Korea to develop The Bomb? That makes absolutely no sense. I guess if we weren't in Iraq, we could maybe follow a policy of signing an agreement and building nuclear power plants for them? Oh wait, we already did that and it's the exact reason "Me So Ronery" Kim Jong Il now has the bomb (possibly.)

Democrats have simply gotten so used to blaming Bush for everything that they say stupid things like this and nobody bats an eye. I sure hope Kerry runs again in 2008, he's non-stop material.

On another note, read the entire article linked above so you can gather such nuggets of liberal wisdom such as this from the unbiased, straight-down-the-middle Seattle-Intelligencer:

In the nearly five years since Bush labeled North Korea part of an "axis of evil" with Iran and Iraq, Kim Jong Il's government has withdrawn from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, announced it has nuclear weapons, refused to return to six-nation talks and launched seven missiles into the Sea of Japan, including a long-range Taepodong-2.

You see, it's all Bush's fault!
