WASHINGTON (Reuters) - As he campaigns on a platform of having made America safer, President Bush usually does not talk about nuclear disputes with North Korea and Iran that show no sign of resolution.

Bush did not mention the two countries, once branded by him as part of an "axis of evil," in his recent Republican Convention address and he has not made them a campaign staple.

Jonathan Pollack, chairman of the Strategic Research Department at the Naval War College, said even though Vice President Dick Cheney and others have admitted time is running out for curbing the North's ambitions, Bush has displayed no sense of urgency and set no deadlines for acting.

"After years of wheels spinning on this issue in this administration, you don't get a sense that there is a clear executive level decision or understanding about what we should do," he told Reuters.

See how safe we are! Look at the iron fencing that must surround the thief-in-chief. Sheesh!

1. Conveniently left out of the discussion,

along with Osama bin Laden and everything else he has fucked up. Good thing they are screening his crowds so he doesn't have to waste his "beautiful mind" on these pointless topics. (sarcasm off).
