REPORT: Bush Officials Were ‘Rooting’ For North Korea to Test Nuclear Weapon

REPORT: Bush Officials Were ‘Rooting’ For North Korea to Test Nuclear Weapon : "Senior Bush administration officials wanted North Korea to test a nuclear weapon because it would prove their point that the regime must be overthrown.

This astonishing revelation was buried in the middle of a Washington Post story published yesterday. Glenn Kessler reports from Moscow as he accompanies Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice:

Before North Korea announced it had detonated a nuclear device, some senior officials even said they were quietly rooting for a test, believing that would finally clarify the debate within the administration."
