Clinton made a deal with the North Koreans, a deal which the administration knew they would cheat on, but would at least keep weapons-grade plutonium out of their hands and would force them into just working with HEU, which they could never pack enough into an ICBM warhead light enough to hurl across the Pacific.
The fact that they would cheat somewhat was all part of the "plan", but oh no, it galled the Drunk and Obummer too much that NK didn't RESPECT MAH AUTHORITAH 100% and pulled out on the deal and tossed them on the back burner to adventure in the Middle East, thereby giving away the whole farm.
