<Experts: Bush must act on N. Korea

KEY QUOTES:

"A prominent foreign policy think tank has warned that unless the White House formulates a coherent strategy with allies on North Korea, including a serious attempt to negotiate, the world will soon be confronted with a fully nuclear-armed North Korea with the capacity to export nuclear fissile materials or even bombs."

"IN A DETAILED report released Monday, a Council on Foreign Relations task force faulted President Bush for failing to negotiate seriously with the communist country and urged him to quickly pursue a short-term interim agreement to test Pyongyang’s intentions."

The Bush administration hasn't a clue as to how to engage in diplomacy capable of producing effective results.
