Does Bush want to use diplomacy (or not) in regards to N. Korea?

Question

One news said, he rejects any talks with North Korea, and in the same article he also said, ""I believe the commander in chief must try all diplomatic measures before we commit our military."

Which one is it, Bush, guddangit...I feel like we have a schizophrenic for a president.

Answer 1

I believe he rejected “private” talks with N. Korea, but is not opposed to talks including the neighboring countries (Japan, China and S. Korea).

Answer 2

What he said (in the press conference) was that he rejects "bi-lateral talks" (which means just the U.S. and N. Korea having talks). One reason for that (not said in the press conference but said elsewhere by other people) is that there have been bi-lateral talks in the past, and N. Korea didn't stick with the plan.

The president wants a group of nations to get together and address the issue because having a group of nations dealing with the issue and having talks as a group with N. Korea may be more effective.

President Bush made the comment that he has been criticized for "going it alone" when it came to Iraq, and now that he's trying not to "go it alone" and to instead want other nations to act as a team, he is being criticized.

He made it clear that diplomacy is what his aim is, and he is not talking about military action.

Regardless of who is in favor of the president and who isn't, in this case, no, he isn't schizophrenic. Somebody didn't listen to the whole press conference or else wasn't paying complete attention if they did.

In answer to your question, yes. He wants to use diplomacy. (In my opinion, it is probably a wise thing that the U.S. not make this about the U.S. versus North Korea but instead makes sure it is about "A bunch of other countries versus North Korea." China has the power to cause major economic problems for North Korea if it wants to.)

Answer 3

May be diplomacy of Bush but fact is that Bush is getting people against America throughout the world by his foreign policies that are clearly discriminate. e. g. What he is thinking about Iran on the same issue but what about N. Korea. He is big diplomate, people know now. He promised Afghan people to assist them in rehablitation but did not do nothing and this diplomacy that he used Afghnistan in the reagon to show his power only.

Answer 4

N O, the international family with North Korea has definitely been happening for sort of two years now alongside with Japan, South Korea, China and different international places in the Southeastern Pacific! The international family with North Korea will paintings!!

Answer 5

IMXXLBOXERS- Your questions and answers are always broad, generalized statements that reflect a very poor grasp of the world, and its conditions and goings on in every way. But you DO ask alot of questions and TRY to sound informed, because you need attention and validation, which is why you want women to wonder what wearing xxl boxers implies from your handle, and the "love patch" thing. These are a very thinly veiled insecurities that women will see through. Just as your questions are very, very thinly veiled attempts to hide your VAST lack of knowledge in world events, please pick up a book. Yeah, it's easy to see right through you, in SO many ways. It's all right there.

Answer 6

You're mistaken. He didn't "reject any talks." What he rejected was US talks with North Korea without the participation of other countries in their area -especially China, Japan, and S.Korea.

Answer 7

Bush wants to test our newest nuclear (nucular) devices on the People's Democratic Republic of Korea, since they're really close to China and our other "ally," Japan.
Behold the low-yield neutron bomb. (Hey, we left their buildings standing, that's more than they did.)
We just kill people, we don't destroy buildings, and just look, hardly any fallout!
Maybe Russia won't complain too much.
I mean really, that's where Caucasians came from anyway, isn't it?

Answer 8

does Bush even really know what the word diplomacy means? on one hand he says he won't "talk" to them but on the other hand he says he's open to diplomacy. Your guess is as good as anyone's on this. Who knows what he'll do....probably invade Tibet. They're asian....so close enough for him.

Answer 9

During his speech today he said he owed it to the American people to try to resolve it diplomatically first, as we tried to with Iraq.
We'll see.

Answer 10

A blockade is the better solution to the North Korean provocation.
