Hey! One fight at a time. We have OBL, Saddam, and NK on the plate at the moment. Now you want GW to take on China as well? You need to pick your battles a little more carefully. Some are worth fighting now, others are best fought later. China's political system is incompatable with a free market economy. China and Tiwan will unify, after China follows Tiwan's political example.

Hey! One fight at a time.

No no no.

This is not not fighting.

Bush did not have to say what he said.

This was an overt and planned comment meant to appease.

If the isue were simply not to fight, he could have avoided the subject (as was always done until Clinton in 1998).

Instead he overtly sided with the Chinese communists.

You're joking if you think the administration is worried about North Korea or even intending to do anything about it. Saddam is all they care about. Look at our own hemisphere for example. We are on the verge of two new Communists in power in South America by the end of the year. For Bush, there's always 'something more important' to worry about.

"The war on terror (ie war on Saddam)" has become a catchall excuse with which to ignore the very real crisis which are soon to be unleashed.
