Flashback: Powell Said NK Began Cheating on Clinton-Era Nuclear Deal ‘Before The Ink Was Dry’
(CNSNews.com) – Amid the latest surge in tensions on the Korean peninsula, some critics are blaming President George W. Bush for the threat posed by Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons – despite assertions that the regime was cheating on its nuclear freeze commitments well before the end of the Clinton administration.
Responding to a tweet saying that President Obama’s “strategic patience” had not been helpful, Obama’s former deputy national security adviser for strategic communications Ben Rhodes tweeted Wednesday, “While it's certainly true and fair we didn’t solve this problem, let's remember North Korea conducted its first nuclear test in 2006.”
