Bush went on to insist that while he will not rule out military action against North Korea or Iran, "Diplomacy hasn't run its course, and we'll continue working to give diplomacy a full opportunity to succeed."

Hey! How about that! Our president knows you can't have a "cookie cutter" policy where you treat every incident the same! Imagine that!
