The Two Clinton Nuclear Bombs

The two nuclear bombs dropped on Japan were known as
“Little Boy” and “Fat Man.” The world today has two
new nuclear bombs.
One
is named “Fat Bill.” The other is named “Little
Hillary.”
The “Bill Clinton” bomb is the one getting the most
headlines as North Korea continues testing its
nuclear weapons. The Communist dictatorship is on
its fifth test already and achieved an explosion
almost at the level of “Little Boy” which was
dropped on Hiroshima.
North Korea has let it be known that this test has
allowed it to produce standardized nuclear warheads
“able to be mounted on strategic ballistic rockets”
so that it can “produce at will and as many as it
wants a variety of smaller, lighter and diversified
nuclear warheads of higher strike power.”
Kim doesn’t just want a nuke. He wants a lot of
nukes. And at the rate he’s going, he will have
them.
And the man to thank for all that is Bill Clinton.
In the fall of ’94, Clinton told the American people
that his deal with North Korea would help bring “an
end to the threat of nuclear proliferation on the
Korean Peninsula.
“After 16 months of intense and difficult
negotiations with North Korea, we have completed an
agreement that will make the United States, the
Korean Peninsula, and the world safer. Under the
agreement, North Korea has agreed to freeze its
existing nuclear program and to accept international
inspection of all existing facilities,” Bill Clinton
assured the country.
He lied.
The North Korean Deal was as worthless as his wife’s
Iran deal. North Korea never kept its agreement.
Like the Iran Deal, the North Korean Deal was never
ratified by the Senate. Named the “Agreed
Framework”, it amounted to as little as its name
implied. Clinton’s people knew that North Korea had
a uranium enrichment program going but chose to look
away from its violations of the agreement because it
would have been a political embarrassment for their
boss and his diplomatic achievement.
The already worthless deal quickly became even more
worthless once it was implemented. Like the Iran
Deal there were secret deals within the deal, some
of which still remain secret, likely because they
reveal the scope of the Clinton sellout to the
Communist dictatorship.
Inspections were delayed indefinitely. North Korea’s
nuclear program had become known when it had
previously delayed IAEA inspections for seven years.
This time around it refused to resume inspections
until we built them a nuclear power plant. Seven
years after the deal, the IAEA was still trying to
get access. Toward the end, the projected timeline
for full inspections had been pushed to 2009.
On January 2003, North Korea announced that “We have
no intention of producing nuclear weapons and our
nuclear activities at this stage will be confined
only to peaceful purposes such as the production of
electricity." In April, it announced that it had
nuclear weapons.
North Korea’s violations were only made public under
Bush. And so Clinton’s people who had given us the
worthless deal blamed Bush’s people for scuttling
their wonderful agreement.
Clinton’s North Korean Deal shared the same silly
premise as the Iran Deal. It was based on the
conviction that what North Korea really wanted
wasn’t nuclear weapons, but nuclear power. If we
just gave North Korea 500,000 metric tons of fuel
oil a year and built some lighter nuclear reactors
for the Communist dictator, it would lose all
interest in building a bomb.
In a surprising twist that no one could have
predicted, it turned out that North Korea wasn’t
trying to cut electricity costs for its population
of terrified starving slaves.
It really did want a bomb.
Bill Clinton sold America the same bill of goods on
North Korea that Obama did on Iran. North Korea
would have its isolation eased and “our
relationship” with it would develop.
He was right about that. Our relationship developed
to the point of North Korea threatening us with the
nuclear weapons that he promised us it wouldn't
have. Bill’s relationship with North Korea developed
to the point of a paid speaking gig that was turned
down by the ethics office at the State Department.
That’s
the first Clinton Bomb. It’s named “Fat Bill.” North
Korea has also supplied nuclear technology to Iran.
And that’s the other Clinton Bomb.
It’s called “Little Hillary.”
Hillary Clinton has been very eager to claim credit
for the Iran Deal. Indeed her boss’ worthless deal
with the nuclear terror state closely echoes her
husband’s worthless deal with another nuclear terror
state.
Even the rhetoric was the same. In Bill’s speech, he
claimed that the deal with North Korea “does not
rely on trust.” In Obama’s speech, he insisted that,
“this deal is not built on trust.”
Except that it did and it does.
Iran got to collect its own samples and turn them
over to the IAEA. That’s the definition of trust.
Two new nuclear reactors are being built. Like the
North Korean variety, they’re supposed to be
strictly light-water. Secret exemptions allow Iran
to store unknown amounts of low-enriched uranium
that can be purified into highly enriched,
weapons-grade uranium and to maintain hot cells that
can be used for plutonium separation. And the
agreement actually starts to lapse after 11 years,
instead of in 15 years, allowing Iran to double its
rate of enrichment with a six month breakout time to
a nuclear bomb.
On that “conservative” timetable, Iran will go
nuclear even faster than North Korea.
Like North Korea, Iran will keep its real weapons
program going on the side. It isn’t interested in
nuclear power, but in nuclear weapons.
North Korea showed off its real agenda throughout
the deal by continuing to develop ballistic
missiles. Now it’s finalizing the process of being
able to mount nuclear warheads on those missiles.
Like North Korea, Iran is working hard on its
ballistic missile program. And Iranian ballistic
missiles are based on North Korean ballistic
missiles. They have the same purpose. Iran’s most
recent test in July made use of the North Korean
BM-25 Musudan ballistic missile which can travel
2,500 miles. That’s based on a Russian missile that
carried a 1 megaton nuclear warhead.
For the Iran Deal to be credible, we have to trust
that Iran doesn’t want a nuclear bomb.
Hillary initiated the pivot to let Iran continue
enriching uranium. As her campaign adviser said,
“She recognized the difficulty of reaching a
solution with zero enrichment.”
As with the rest of her politics, Hillary Clinton
has held an infinite number of positions on Iran’s
nuclear enrichment. But behind closed doors, this
was her true position.
North Korea’s “Fat Bill” bomb and Iran’s “Little
Hillary” bomb are interconnected. The two terror
states, one red and the other green, one left-wing
and the other Islamic, help each other.
Much as Bill helped North Korea and Hillary helped
Iran.
The world faces the prospect of two terror states
armed with nuclear weapons as the legacy for two
politicians named Clinton who sold out their country
and ushered in a new age of nuclear terror.
If a North Korean bomb is used in war, it will be
Bill’s bomb. And if Iran uses nuclear weapons, it
will be Hillary’s hellish explosion.
Stopping the two Clinton bombs may be the biggest
national security challenge for a future president.
