More Of The "Clinton Did It" Defense

John McCain was playing the “blame Clinton” game today on North Korea. Ignore the fact that if Clinton did so bad with North Korea then why hasn’t the Bush administration done anything to correct it in the past 6 years. If the Republicans once again want to put partisanship above national security, then let’s play.

Ever wonder how North Korea got that reactor? Was it Clinton’s fault? Let’s turn to Think Progress and find out:

Rumsfeld was a non-executive director of ABB, a European engineering giant based in Zurich, when it won a $200m contract to provide the design and key components for the reactors. The current defense secretary sat on the board from 1990 to 2001, earning $190,000 a year.

Oh so it was our very own Defense Secretary who was involved with North Korea getting their reactors. So why hasn’t anyone asked Rumsfeld about this?

Rumsfeld has since refused media requests to talk about his role in the light water reactor deal and has instead criticized it.

He don’t want to talk about it. Perhaps the media needs to push old Rummy on this a little more. Perhaps Clinton needs another FOX interview so he can give Wallace another smack of truth.
