The Guardian printed the article in October, 2004, in hopes of harming President Bush's reelection. It was politically motivated. Still, I don't disagree with most of what the findings said. I already mentioned our own intelligence stated they badly underestimated Saddam's WMD program before Desert Storm. Then they admitted they badly overestimated Saddam's WMD program leading up to the second war, or the resumption of hostilities. They didn't know for sure what the threat level was. Even the Russian intelligence was convinced he was close to obtaining nuclear weapons. Everyone was wrong, to some degree.
Here is what caught my eye in the article;
I believe that a U.S. Commander-In-Chief has to look at everything and make a decision to go to war rather than hope and pray that nothing bad happens due to inaction. On the other hand, look at President Obama and how he is dealing with Iran. He knows they want nuclear weapons. He knows they cannot be trusted. He knows they are the leading sponsor of terror. He knows they are getting close to having nuclear weapons and have already got missiles to deliver them. Does send in the military? Nope. He provides a path for Iran to get nuclear weapons. He guarantees Iran will get nuclear weapons, if Israel doesn't attack them first. He is hated throughout Israel, our greatest ally. They know they cannot work with him and pray that Hillary loses. The biggest mistake President Bush made was believing a liberal like President Obama would not do something stupid dealing with Iran. He should have gone in with Israel and destroyed all nuclear facilities and maybe some other military targets.
It's very late in the game to take on North Korea. Obama would never consider it. He'll retire in Hawaii in comfort. Hillary has no idea how to govern. She will allow terrorist to run amok. She would allow North Korea to sell nukes to terror groups. History will show that we missed the best opportunity to deal with North Korea 20 years ago. U.S. policy will be to wait until something totally predictable and terrible happens and then react the best we can. Call it the Obama doctrine, or the liberal progressive doctrine.

I don't think all hope is lost for Korea yet. I will hold out hope that the nightmare of the Kim Cult will cease in my lifetime and that Korea can be reunited for the sake of the Christians in south Korea and the Christians in north Korea. I don't think the next president whether it be Hillary or Trump will really make much of a difference. For Korea to be reunited that has to start with the Koreans themselves. No president, GOPer or Democrat, has really been able to make much a difference with regards to north Korea. The best we can do is keep up the containment and hope that Kim Jong-Un keeps producing daughters until his death or until his own elites are forced to overthrow him to stop him from purging them.
