More Dissonance!

Is it any wonder that so-called rogue regimes want nuclear weapons given that they have seen that George W. Bush will invade anybody at will? That's what our Left claims.

Should their standard bearer win in November, all those nuclear programs will disappear on the wings of hope and nuanced diplomacy, logically. No Bush means no threat, which must mean no need for expensive nuclear programs by anybody else.

But the details do get in the way of this reasoning. First we know that North Korea and Iran began their nuclear programs long before President Bush took office. And while the Left denies anything but diplomacy convinced Libya to give up their nuclear program, we do know that Libya didn't accelerate their nuclear program during the Bush administration despite their presumed fear of invasion, which should have meant the Libyans would redouble their efforts, right?

And now we find that Syria's reactor destroyed in the Big Hole Incident was a pre-Bush program:

Intelligence and administration officials also briefed reporters, and said Syrian-North Korean nuclear cooperation began in the late 1990s and that the nuclear reactor project was believed to have begun in 2001.


The reactor was begun in 2001--before the Iraq War. And the cooperation began during the Nuanced Administration that was far too busy apologizing to foreigners with lip-biting sincerity to possibly invade them.

It's almost as if our Left is insane for blaming everything bad in the world on President Bush.
