Another Charles Krauthammer column, another brazen effort to mislead his readers: "North Korea went nuclear a long time ago. Our time to act was during the Bush 41 and Clinton administrations."

Really? Well, no, not really.

Fred Kaplan's 2004 article remains the best accurate account of what went down with North Korea. Krauthammer, as usual, has an admirable rhetorical flair but dubious analytic skills and a tenuous grasp on the facts.
