South Korea's ruling party urged US President George W. Bush's administration yesterday to share more intelligence on North Korea to ensure there is no repeat of what it said was the flawed information that led to war in Iraq.

The bipartisan commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks in the US reported last week there had been contact between Iraqis and al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, but there was no evidence of a collaborative relationship.

"It was wrongful of the Bush administration to bring on the war against Iraq," the Uri Party said in an English-language statement. "Even worse, the administration is losing the justification of occupation policy in Iraq."

What? Don't you S. Koreans what to start murdering people? I thought that was the whole point of working with Bush's America?

2. And yet they're still going to send troops to Iraq.

"It was wrongful of the Bush administration to bring on the war against Iraq," the Uri Party said in an English-language statement. "Even worse, the administration is losing the justification of occupation policy in Iraq."



Roh Moo Hyun is in a tough position. If he sends the troops, he's losing the faith of his reform based supporters. If he doesn't send the troops, the conservative factions here will scream loud and long about him "betraying the alliance with America, thus endangering the South to North Korea". If he wants to stand by his morals, he will cancel the troop deployment order that was signed by the fascist GNP last year.
