How's That "Smart Power" Working Out?
Jan 13, 2009 - Hillary Clinton vowed to restore American leadership through "smart power" diplomacy.May 27, 2009 - After detonating a nuclear weapon and firing ground to sea missiles, North Korea announced it would no longer abide by the 1953 armistice that ended the Korean War and threatened a military response to any South Korean participation in a U.S.-led program to interdict and seize weapons of mass destruction headed to North Korea.
“The Korean People’s Army will not be bound to the Armistice Agreement any longer,” the official Korean Central News Agency announced. Attempts to stop and inspect North Korean vessels will be countered with “prompt and strong military strikes.” South Korea’s military said it will “deal sternly with any provocation” from North Korea.
“This rapid-fire provocation indicates a more aggressive shift in the Kim Jong Il regime,” said Ryoo Kihl Jae, a professor at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul. “Kim is obviously using a strategy of maximum force.”
I guess Kim Jong Il is NOT using "smart power". Of course, he has been smarter than the last three administrations.

More On North Korea

On the left is a picture of the Smartest Woman in the World watching yet another North Korean missile test as she exercises "smart power" (her words, not mine) to contain Kim Jong Il.
I wonder if Hillary is too smart to read the Wall Street Journal. If she had bothered to read John Bolton's op ed Wednesday, May 20th, she would have been aware that North Korea was going to test another nuclear weapon, which they did on May 24th. Read his op-ed at the link below.

Bolton's words contrast sharply with the inability of the past three administrations (2 of which included Hillary) to effectively counter Kim Jong Il's nuclear threat to global security.
Of course, the left shrilly denounced Bolton on May 20th. They owe him an apology, although being liberal means you never have to say your are sorry -- because you have no conscience.
