Cenk Uygur on North Korea and Iran

Cenk Uygur in a pair of posts gives Bush credit for the North Korea deal and blame for what he's doing with Iran.

On North Korea: "North Korea gave up its nuclear weapons program for a measly $250-300 million dollars. That's literally what we spend in Iraq in one day. Oh yeah, we promised not to invade them and to start trading with them. And what would be the downside of that?"

"Iranian weapons would be responsible for less than 8% of our fatalities and less than 4% of our wounded in Iraq. On the other hand, the Sunni insurgency is responsible for the great majority of our casualties. And you know where some of their funding comes from? Saudi Arabia."

Then he says: "So, if this administration cares so much for the troops dying in Iraq, as they claim, why don't they investigate who is sending the money for the weapons that are killing over 90% of them? If they don't do this, then it becomes patently obvious that they are using the troops as an excuse once again for their real agenda. They want to attack Iran at all costs.
