Bush warns N. Korea against selling nuclear arms

WASHINGTON - US President George W. Bush warned North Korea on Wednesday of a “grave consequence” if it tried to sell nuclear arms, and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice reassured Asian allies of America’s commitment to defend them.

In his sternest message to Pyongyang since its Oct. 9 nuclear test, Bush vowed the United States would use whatever means necessary to keep North Korea from proliferating nuclear arms beyond its borders. snip

But he made clear that Washington, which has not ruled out military options, would take strong action if North Korea tried to sell nuclear weapons to America’s enemies.

“They’d be held to account,” Bush told ABC News when asked how he would handle North Korea if it attempted to send nuclear arms to Iran or Al Qaeda. snip

While refusing to specify how the United States would retaliate, he said, “You know, I’d just say it’s a grave consequence.”

1. The hell with * and Condi. They both suck still. And they obviously
have no plan, for anything, like Iraq. Now they want to tackle N. Korea?
They are ineffective idiots.
