John Bolton: There’s No Point in Talking to North Korea; We Have to Consider the Military Option

‘We’ve negotiated with North Korea for 25 years on this question’

RUSH EXCERPT:
BOLTON: "Time is so short, hard to see how any of them could work with North Korea, we’ve negotiated with North Korea for 25 years on this question. During which time North Korea has repeatedly committed to giving up nuclear weapon program, and lied about it. My view, looking at history, there is no point in talking to North Korea, they are happy to talk, it buys them time, they use to increase the sophistication of the nuclear program. You should exhaust diplomatic options, but what North Korea did, by firing this missile over Japan, demonstrating it could hit Japan. And hit Guam which would be within the estimated range of this missile, is they have not iota, we have to consider military option, not because we think it a great idea, not because we want to run risk today, but because we don’t want to run the risk tomorrow of the innocent American civilian population held hostage by this rogue regime."
