Excerpt from Chimp Interview --
Q: Do you think North Korea (news - web sites) and Iran are more dangerous now than when you took office?

BUSH: No, I don't. I think that — let me rephrase that. I think that the circumstances surrounding North Korea and surrounding Iran are more comprehensive. And therefore — in other words, the strategies — the strategies we've employed toward North Korea and Iran are more comprehensive, which makes them less likely to take action that would make the world more dangerous. We've still got work to do, don't get me wrong. But when you have five nations talking to North Korea, it's more effective than just one nation talking to North Korea. And when you've got, now, the foreign ministries of Germany, France and England directly in talks with the Iranians, as well as the IAEA, with a new protocol that would allow for inspections, that's a more effective strategy, is a better way to put it.

So, therefore, to answer your question, because the strategies are more effective, I think we have a better chance of solving the problems. Having said that, North Korea and Iran are dangerous. ...

The strategy is — they're still dangerous countries, and the strategy is more effective, in dealing with these countries.

Q: You don't think they're more dangerous, then.

BUSH: Well, they are more dangerous if there's an ineffective strategy. That's what — to me, that's what causes more danger. They are dangerous, effective or not effective. They are more dangerous if the strategy is not effective. That's what I'm saying to you.

What the heck?!

And a little Freudian slip here: "My opponent has said to youngsters that if George W. is elected — re-elected, there will be a draft."

8. Huh? is always my response.
"Comprehensive." What the flaming fuck does that mean? Other than George is too chickenshit to have a meeting with anyone with real WMD.

10. Bush wants a 5 nation, er 6, uh 5 countries
to tell North Korea what to do.
If you were the leader of North Korea, would you cooperate if you had no say in the matter?

John Kerry wants bilateral talks. At least North Korea would be involved in the talks.

Am I correct about this? Or,is North Korea one of the 5 nations in Bush's plan? Thanks....
