Oh, you mean that black thing in the middle of his chest?
"US reports deal is set for N. Korea food aid; State Dept. denies tie to nuclear talks" by Anne Gearan, Associated Press | May 17, 2008
WASHINGTON - The United States said yesterday it has reached a deal with North Korea to provide more than 500,000 tons of food aid over the coming year to the closed-off communist nation.
The Bush administration says the aid is unrelated to its nuclear disarmament deal with Pyongyang, although both have involved an unusual intensity of US diplomacy with a nation President Bush once included as part of an "axis of evil," along with Iraq and Iran.
"We don't see any connection," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said of the food aid and disarmament talks. "We're doing this because America is a compassionate nation and the United States and the American people are people who reach out to those in need."
That's all well and good; however, WE are HURTING, too!!!
And you have been NEGLECTING OUR NEEDS, so WTF?
The United States last provided food aid to North Korea in 2005. Further deliveries fell apart in a dispute over a US demand for close oversight of how the aid would be distributed. The United States wants assurances the food will not be diverted or used improperly by the government of Kim Jong Il....
Like the U.S. is a bastion of incorruptible purity over here!
The United States said it does not know exactly how much the deal will cost, because prices will depend on the costs of food and shipping, both of which are rising fast.
Pyongyang "has been open in saying it faces a major shortage in food supplies," White House press secretary Dana Perino said earlier this week.
"The president thinks that the government is certainly diverting food to the military and not giving it to the people," she said. "But outside of politics, the president's heart hurts when he knows that people are starving, and especially because - especially for children, who are maybe trying to go to school."
I was wondering how much it hurts over the MILLIONS of DEAD he's killed in his DAMN INVASIONS and OCCUPATIONS, Dana!!!!
Oh, that's right, he GAVE UP GOLF!!!!
