I have basic world of warcraft and want to get the new expansion "wrath of the lich king" do I still need to get the second expansion "burning crusade" or can I just skip that one?

You will have to purchase the Burning Crusade expansion, in all reality it makes good sense as well.
Original WoW: Levels 1-60
Burning Crusade: Levels 58-70
Lich King: Levels 68-80
Without the Burning Crusade you would have a nearly impossible time reaching level 80 with your characters as there would be disconnect between levels 60 and 68. Even if you could skip Burning Crusade, I would imagine the game to be incredibly frustrating as you tried to kill level 68 monsters while you are level 60.

You must purchse The Burning Crusade before WOTLK. It is needed to level to 70 and BC has the areas to level to 70. It is definately required before WOTLK. Happy Gaming!!

You will need BC in order to play WotLK. It was required in beta and will no doubt be required for release.
The pre-order boxes say this as well, although Blizzard has not made an official announcement in the forums on the official site.

I'm not sure... I think you have to upgrade to Burning Crusade and upgrade to Lich King... then again, I don't think that Blizzard would be that greedy, so give it a shot. :D
