INTERVIEW OF THE PRESIDENT BY TOM BROKAW, NBC
Aboard Air Force One, Canton, Ohio

ON NORTH KOREA:

Q: .... You still have two big issues out there on the horizon: al
Qaeda and North Korea. North Korea today saying that it's reprocessed
8,000 plutonium rods and if you don't start talking to them, they're
willing to sell them.

THE PRESIDENT: Yes. See, they're back to the old blackmail game. One of
our goals and objectives must be to strengthen the nonproliferation
regimes and get the whole world focused on proliferation of weapons of
mass destruction or the materials for weapons of mass destruction, and
North Korea is making my case, that we've got to come together.

And we started that process in the North Korean peninsula that is coming
together. The Chinese now, for the first time, are partners at the table.
I look forward to hearing what the Chinese say about being rebuffed by
the North Koreans because they, too, believe that the Peninsula ought to
be nuclear weapons-free. This will give us an opportunity to say to the
North Koreans and the world we're not going to be threatened. On the
other hand we, the world, must come together to make sure institutions
like the IAEA are effective at stopping proliferation.

It's another reason, by the way for us to also advance the missile defense
systems, because the missile defense system will make it less likely that
a nuclear country could blackmail us or Japan or any one of our
friends....

ON THE "BUSH DOCTRINE":

Q: ... Now that the war in Iraq is effectively over, have you thought
about a Bush doctrine that is a comprehensive structure of some kind, on a
global basis, for dealing with weapons of mass destruction and the need,
even, of preemptive strikes against rogue nations?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, the Bush doctrine is actually being defined by
action, as opposed to by words. Although, I think if you compile a lot of
the speeches I've given, you could come up with the Bush doctrine.

The way I view the post-Saddam Iraq opportunities are these, one, that we
can deal more effectively with weapons of mass destruction, that we made
it clear that people who harbor weapons of mass destruction will be dealt
with. Hopefully, most of it can be done diplomatically. And you'll see us
-- see me, as well as members of my administration, begin to push for new
international protocols that will make international organizations more
effective at stopping the spread of weapons of mass destruction.

There's a lot of things where we can work together, is my point, to
overcome any differences that might have existed on the Iraq policy....
