-- Rumsfeld warns N Korea US not distracted by Iraq --

WASHINGTON, Dec 23 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of Defense
Donald Rumsfeld said on Monday that North Korea would be
mistaken if it felt emboldened by Washington's focus on Iraq to
pursue its own quest for nuclear weapons.
Asked if North Korea might be seeking to exploit U.S.
attention on Iraq to re-start its nuclear weapons program,
Rumsfeld said, "If they do, it would be a mistake."
He said the United State was able to wage two regional
conflicts at the same time.
"We are capable of fighting two major regional foreign
conflicts," he told a Pentagon briefing. "We are capable of
winning decisively in one and swiftly defeating in the case of
the other. Let there be no doubt about it."
North Korea confirmed on Sunday it had begun removing U.N.
seals and cameras at the Yongbyon nuclear reactor idled in a
watershed deal with the United States eight years ago. It said
it did so to generate electricity.
