A moment of reality....

Time for a reality check, folks....

Throughout this surreal Syria thing, a few of you (the ones who, as true Conservatives) have probably been thinking that this situation sounds vaguely familiar.

You are right.

Remember in the '90's, when North Korea was making it's usual threats to America, and beginning it's nuclear weapons program?

Remember the President, CLINTON, making a deal with the North Koreans? It went something like this:

Our part:
- We'll remove all sanctions.
- We'll give you BILLIONS in cash.
- We'll give you TWO NUCLEAR REACTORS.

In trade for:
- You, North Korea, will abandon your nuclear weapons program.

Remember?

Remember how it worked out?

Here's how it worked out:

- We removed all sanctions.
- We gave them BILLIONS in cash.
- We built them TWO NUCLEAR REACTORS.

.....They, in turn, had a FULLY ACTIVE nuclear weapons program underway within a year.

(Turns out that Clinton KNEW that the North Koreans re-started their nuclear weapons program......the news was in the paper that Clinton read every morning. He simply ignored it....which is why the North Koreans have a nuclear weapons program today.)

So, folks, now that Obama has demanded Syria turn over it's chemical weapons, has promised that he'll "trust but verify", does anyone.....ANYONE....think EITHER will actually happen?

(BTW, turns out that Syria, RIGHT NOW, is shipping it's chemical weapons to......IRAQ!)

OH........also........there is now credible evidence that the "rebels" ALSO have chemical weapons,  shouldn't Obama ALSO BE DEMANDING THEIRS?

And yet....he isn't.....

Folks, when we decide, through our own complacency and deliberate ignorance, to put in charge complete idiots like Obama and Kerry, we can reasonably expect that these idiots will do idiotic, dangerous things.

Turns out we got EXACTLY what we bargained for. We wanted stupid; we got stupid.

Gosh.....I WONDER what we'll get next time......

Hirota: out.
