"My job is to protect america"

"Saddam Hussein is a threat"

but apparently North Korea isn't. I don't get it -- if we can contain North Korea without getting american men and women killed, why can't we contain Iraq? Is it because the bible-thumpers demand a war against ancient Babylon? I don't see any other thing that distinguishes the Iraq situation from the N Korean situation - - except the oil, that is. Maybe it IS really about the oil!

Ding Dong.

NK is Iraq in 1990. Plus, they are not in an area that is critical to the world economy. Yes. Politics and war (the other means) are ALMOST ALWAYS involving economics. Buy a clue.

If SK and Japan were smart they would plant some intermediate range nukes and tell NK to go blow. A cold war with a nuclear power is the best way to crush it. It just takes longer.

Obviously you haven't studied the N. Korean situation very much, but I'm not going to explain it to you right now; I'm going to watch the rest of the press conference.

Then you haven't been paying attention. Oil is only one part of the equation.

The President will tackle the RNK, when the time is right.

Perhaps you missed one of the many other press conferences where the President clarified his position on N.Korea.

Try this one, from Nov.7, 2002.

You are treading on MY turf, without knowing where the mines are.

You are simply not knowledgable on this topic and for the sake of the 100,000 American CIVILIANS living and working on South Korea, I have to tell you that Bush is handling this exactly right.

You need to educate yourself before you come back onto my turf again.
