Bush: Force not ruled out
on North Korea or Iran

US President George W. Bush said Wednesday that "military
options remain on the table" in nuclear disputes with North
Korea and Iran but underlined that he preferred a diplomatic resolution.
"I have always said that diplomacy has got to be the first
choice of solving any of these problems. But military options
remain on the table," Bush said in a roundtable interview
with Japanese news outlets.
The president had been asked whether the six-country-talks approach
he embraced for dealing with North Korea could be effective with
Iran and about charges he ignored diplomacy when it came to Saddam
Hussein's Iraq.

Bush has frequently warned that he has not ruled out using force
against Iran, but has done so less frequently amid six-country
diplomatic efforts aimed at defusing the nuclear dispute with
North Korea.
White House aides and Bush himself have said that it would be
irresponsible for a US president to categorically rule out using
force, saying that could de-fang diplomatic efforts with difficult
countries.
