Bush Sees No Need to Change N. Korea Policy
That's the headline in today's New York Times. And right he is. I mean, if it never worked in the first place, there's no impetus to fix it. “I believe the commander in chief must try all diplomatic measures," Bush said, speaking in the third person.The president said in response to a question that his statement of May 23, 2003 — “We will not tolerate a nuclear North Korea” — still stands. But he said repeatedly that that goal could be realized through diplomacy. -NYTimes
He wants to have his cake and eat it too. Nothing wrong with that, especially when the cake is so sweet and the calories will be passed on to the next generation. Guilt-free dessert!
“Diplomacy is a difficult process,” Mr. Bush said between mouthfulls. What a wise man, a sage even. Mr. Bush said over and over, sometimes without prompting, that North Korea could be dealt with through diplomacy. When asked what military options were available to the United States “once diplomacy has run its course,” he replied: “Diplomacy hasn’t run its course. That’s what I’m trying to tell you.”
Bush was heard to ask "why's everybody always picking on me?"
