With Iraq, his administration fabricated and/or twisted false reports of WMD's and ties to Al Queda, and the fact that Saddam is unkind to his people into a vaild reason for us to 'liberate' Iraq...
With North Korea, it is a know (and flaunted) fact that they have nuclear capabilities and are more than willing to use them, and Kim Jong is a childish madman who is inkind to his people...
Why then is he insisting that we solve this with 'diplomacy'?
Hint: One-word answer, starts with 'O', ends with 'L'...Iraq has plenty, North Korea has none...

I'm going for the oil. Surely China are as worried as anybody else about that loon having nukes.

Because korea is allied with China. Keep in mind that China has the first or second largest army in the world. I'd be scared of them too if I were Bush. But i do agree with you in that now is when he really needs to ttake action, not four years ago. The reason why he decided to attack afghanistan, regardless of what anyone said is because their army is rather small in comapisson to ours...or Chinas'

Because if we attack North Korea, they will attack South Korea with all kinds of nasty bombs.
North Korea is the "sick man of Asia." Kim Jong (Mentally) il reminds me of some hostage taker in a post office threatening to kill the inhabitants if he's not offered something in return.

This Kim dude might be smarter than we think. This could be a plot to draw the US into another war without thinking it through. By doing that (GOING IN) we would have lost all credibility with all of our allies. So Bush is doing the right thing by going through the process. But dont think for one minute that if it indeed was a nuke and we dont come to a resolve SOON we will be in War again.

Why won't Bush Invade North Korea? It's the Liberals that you support who tie his hands. The UN and China now have agreed we should punish North Korea, and why haven't we? LIBERALS, look in the mirror dude you are part of the problem. The Beatles were hugely conservative now you should be more like them.

Most likely because North Korea is buddies with China. Bush doesn't want to piss off China.
