The IAEA should be worried, as I am worried about it, because North Korea is now a nuclear power state with a ballistic missile program.

We are categorically against any new military nuclear power, be it Iran, be it North Korea, be it anyone.

North Korea is going to get away with keeping its nuclear weapons.

There is an intrinsic urgency (in the Bush administration) because even as we're talking, the (nuclear) program in North Korea is not frozen. Each day that passes brings an added increment of risk and danger.

The larger picture here is that a North Korea with nuclear weapons adds to the larger proliferation risk.

The greatest threat that the world faces is a nuclear Iran. A nuclear North Korea is already troubling enough.
