Someone about 6 or 7 years ago made the comment about Iran, Iraq and North Korea. Hmmm, musta been some Democrat Hitler wanna-be.
Soon after the comment was made, North Korea and Iran started their Nuclear weapons programs.

Talk about short memories...

North Korea had a nuclear weapons program dating back to 1992. Iran's can be traced back to the 80s.

Part of Bushes State of the Union, 2002:

"Some of these regimes have been pretty quiet since September 11, but we know their true nature.

North Korea is a regime arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction, while starving its citizens.

Iran aggressively pursues these weapons and exports terror, while an unelected few repress the Iranian people's hope for freedom.

Iraq continues to flaunt its hostility toward America and to support terror. The Iraqi regime has plotted to develop anthrax and nerve gas and nuclear weapons for over a decade. This is a regime that has already used poison gas to murder thousands of its own citizens, leaving the bodies of mothers huddled over their dead children. This is a regime that agreed to international inspections then kicked out the inspectors. This is a regime that has something to hide from the civilized world.

States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world. By seeking weapons of mass destruction, these regimes pose a grave and growing danger. They could provide these arms to terrorists, giving them the means to match their hatred. They could attack our allies or attempt to blackmail the United States. In any of these cases, the price of indifference would be catastrophic. "

So, how are those WMDs searches in Iraq doing; considering Dick Cheney and Colin Powell knew where they were?

Info on Iran

Note the statement of the plants being used for power and the weapons were started after the fall of the Shaw.

Info on North Korea

Nuclear power program started in the 1980's:

"The North Korean nuclear weapons program dates back to the 1980s. In the 1980s, focusing on practical uses of nuclear energy and the completion of a nuclear weapon development system, North Korea began to operate facilities for uranium fabrication and conversion. It began construction of a 200 MWe nuclear reactor and nuclear reprocessing facilities in Taechon and Yongbyon, respectively, and conducted high-explosive detonation tests. In 1985 US officials announced for the first time that they had intelligence data proving that a secret nuclear reactor was being built 90 km north of Pyongyang near the small town of Yongbyon."

Have some more Kool-Aid, kids.

I almost feel obligated to start a new Iran thread.

From YOUR posts:

Soon after the comment was made, North Korea and Iran started their Nuclear weapons programs.

The North Korean nuclear weapons program dates back to the 1980s.

Considering the Axis of Evil speech happened subsequently, you just proved yourself wrong.

You may want to check your own Kool Aid.
