Bush: US will not tolerate nuclear proliferation by N. Korea
2006-11-19
WASHINGTON - US President George W. Bush warned Saturday that the United States and its allies will not tolerate transfers of nuclear technology by North Korea to hostile regimes and terrorist groups.

In his weekly radio address, Bush said he intended to continue to cooperate on the North Korean nuclear issue with his counterparts in China, Russia, South Korea and Japan. ‘In my meetings with leaders in the region, we discussed the threat of proliferation from North Korea. After North Korea’s recent nuclear test, the United Nations Security Council passed a unanimous resolution imposing sanctions on North Korea’s regime, and America is working with our partners to enforce those sanctions.

‘We will also continue working with Japan, China, South Korea and Russia through the six-party talks,’ Bush added.

And ‘our nations are speaking with one voice: North Korea must abandon its nuclear weapons programs, and we will not tolerate North Korea’s proliferation of nuclear technology to hostile regimes and terrorist networks,’ the president said.

#7  I don't know, Ship, he looks like a pretty good fisherman here. But I bet he couldn't ride Apache.

#6  I'm afraid, despite my having supported W twice, that his foreign policy is having the same effect on national security as his No Child Left Behind initiative is having on the production of physicists and engineers.

#5  If he's such a hot shot cowboy how come we never see him on horseback? I mean gee, he can't do anything right. And he walks funny too. Got that weird palm-in thing going that creeps out the Anchormens. And I'll bet he ain't much of a fisherman either.

#4  The guy just can't win. First folks holler they want to hear him say the Baddies shouldn't win and we won't let 'em, y'know - that Bully Pulpit thingy, then when he does, they whack 'im and say he's said it too often.

Some, myself included, think he's done purdy well dealing with the NorKies, considering the shit sandwich that was left on the plate when he arrived. But hey, that doesn't sell newspapers or make the bloggers happy. Nope.

Only smokin' holes, delivered on the personal schedule (er, that's today's schedule, forget yesterday, k?) of the loudest dog, will do.

Sorry Bush, you wimp.

#2  "Seething and ranting" is exactly right. If President Bush is the most bellicose leader the West can manage then we are in serious trouble.

Unfortunately official actions means this is nothing more than the Western version of Arab seething and ranting, without rioting or demonstrations in the streets, or film at 11.
