Bush Says Patience With North Korea 'Not Unlimited'

Bush made his remarks to reporters today after talks with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at the U.S. presidential retreat outside Washington.

"We're hoping that [North Korean leader Kim Jong-il] continues to make the right choice for his country," Bush said. "But if he should choose not to, we've got a strategy to make sure that the pressure we have initially applied is even greater."

North Korea recently missed a deadline to shut down some of its nuclear work under a February agreement.
