Bush: US will not tolerate nuclear proliferation by N. Korea
 WASHINGTON - US President George W. Bush warned Saturday that the United States and its allies will not tolerate transfers of nuclear technology by North Korea to hostile regimes and terrorist groups.In his weekly radio address, Bush said he intended to continue to cooperate on the North Korean nuclear issue with his counterparts in China, Russia, South Korea and Japan. In my meetings with leaders in the region, we discussed the threat of proliferation from North Korea. After North Koreas recent nuclear test, the United Nations Security Council passed a unanimous resolution imposing sanctions on North Koreas regime, and America is working with our partners to enforce those sanctions. We will also continue working with Japan, China, South Korea and Russia through the six-party talks, Bush added. And our nations are speaking with one voice: North Korea must abandon its nuclear weapons programs, and we will not tolerate North Koreas proliferation of nuclear technology to hostile regimes and terrorist networks, the president said.
