Maybe You’re Accustomed To Reeling When Reading John Bolton’s Opinions. I Don’t.

More on the North Korean advance in its nuclear strategy. Not unsuspected but much ignored.

And the truth is we've been ignoring Pyongyang's mad and aggressive moves in the atomic arena for years. Even under President Bush. And President Clinton.
