Bush has escalated the arms race and now the UN, Russia and China will de-escalate it. North Korea has made record advancements toward nuclear weapons on Bush. What else is there to say? Bush comes out opposing the potential nuclear weapon after he suspended all talks to North Korea when he entered office. The entire mess is directly Bush's blunder.

Did you catch Keith Olberman on MSNBC tonight? He is postponing the Bush/Republican assault on Habeous Corpus. He's bringing it up on his program tomorrow night. He finds it appauling that while the nation has been seeking information about Foley, the Republicans have been up to no good. I'm looking forward to it.

The Foley Feasco is more than anyone expected. He engaged in sex with a Page who eventually came 'of age.' He's a predator. He stalks them. He likes his sexual partner young but without commitment to a relationship that sustains him. It's a worry. He sees young men as sex objects. He doesn't value long term commitments? It's a worry.

WASHINGTON -- The House Ethics Committee this week ramps up its investigation into a sex scandal that has roiled the Republican-controlled Congress, with the first witnesses coming to an otherwise quiet Capitol to testify behind closed doors on what they knew, and when, about ex-Congressman Mark Foley's contacts with male pages.In what is shaping up as a classic "he said/he said" discourse, Kirk Fordham, a former Foley aide, is expected to testify this week that he warned House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert's office in 2003 or earlier about the former Florida Republican's inappropriate interest in teenage pages.
And now the 'lack of interest' in the Republican Congressman Foley's prowling of Pages to the House by the Republican majority extends to teh year 2001.
Oh.

Governor Richardson - he's right. We need to pick up where Clinton left off. With North Korea, Palestine, Israel and evidently Iraq and Iran which share their ethnic base.
Of course, Governor Richardson didn't put it that way, but, he is saying things that Bush could never achieve or ever tried to embark on.

There you go, John Roberts creating a 'generic' understanding of 'the facts' to water down the issue enough to make it less threatening and therefore less a Bush Blunder.
I feel better tonight than I did this morning about the security of the Korean Peninsula, but, not because the President of the USA provided that margin of control, but, because Russia and China did. The United Nations will succeed. It has some very powerful partners.
