U.S. Still Building North Korean Nuclear Plants

January 22, 2003

Are we living in the Twilight Zone?

The U.S. has cut off oil supplies to North Korea, and already there's talk of pre-emptive strikes against North Korea. North Korea claims it has developed nuclear bombs and is threatening a war that could turn global.

Meanwhile, the U.S., which foolishly forked over more than $10 billion in aid to communist North Korea, continues to fund and back KEDO – the Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization.

A source close to KEDO tells NewsMax he thinks it is remarkable that despite the hostilities, the U.S. continues to support the building of nuclear reactors for North Korea – though the North Koreans clearly violated the agreement that led to the formation of KEDO.

One reason for the continuance of KEDO is that member nations Japan and South Korea have the multibillion-dollar contracts to build the North Korean nuclear plants – and don't want to face the political fallout of the project's demise.

Remember what Lenin said: The West would sell him the rope he would use to hang us with.
