The new president is taking a tough line on North Korea. Will the U.S. support him?

'I fully support President Obama's call to have a world without nuclear weapons . . . But in the meantime we are faced with North Korea trying to become a nuclear power and this really is a question we must deal with now."

South Korean President Lee Myung-bak -- nickname: The Bulldozer -- isn't a man who minces words, as Barack Obama will discover when he hosts a summit with him on Tuesday. Mr. Lee, known for persistently asking "Will it work?" in meetings, is taking a hard-nosed look at his country's despotic northern neighbor and planning the next steps. The task gained increased urgency late last month when Kim Jong Il's regime tested its second nuclear weapon. Pyongyang is reportedly readying another.

Lee Myung-bak

Until now, South Korean presidents have unreservedly backed the six-party talks -- a forum that includes the U.S., the two Koreas, Japan, China and Russia. The multilateral group was launched by the Bush administration in 2003 after Pyongyang withdrew from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, and it has been enthusiastically supported by the Obama White House. All six parties say they agree about the need to "denuclearize" the Korean peninsula. Yet the North is believed to have two nuclear programs: a plutonium program and a highly enriched uranium program that Pyongyang alternately denies or boasts about.

This is a great interview with the new S. Korean President, Lee. He gives me hope for the region.

So why did I find the post title so relevant....and not wrt NK?

Keep in mind the filthy mess left in the WH by the klintoons in Jan 2001 AND the stinking smelly filthy condition reported by the MSM aboard the oscumbo campaign plane.

You have to figure that a bulldozer (supported by a flamethrower) will be required if the marxist scum are ever driven from the WH.
