Im beginning to believe N. Korea was behind the Enron Scam (or maybe george is just having an acid flasback) T@EvilDoer101 Bush Pledges to Stop North Korean Drug Trafficking Mon Sep 15, 2:00 PM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush (news - web sites) expressed concern on Monday about drug trafficking by North Korea (news - web sites) and pledged stepped-up efforts to stop it. "The president ... registered his growing concern over heroin and methamphetamine trafficking linked to North Korea, and expressed his intent for the United States to intensify its efforts to stop North Korean involvement in narcotics production and trafficking," the White House said in a statement. A U.S. government report issued on Monday identified 23 countries as either "major drug transit or major illicit drug-producing countries." Two of those countries, Myanmar and Haiti, had "failed demonstrably" to meet obligations to fight the drug trade. However, Bush decided to continue providing assistance to Haiti because it was "vital to the national interests of the United States," the White House said. North Korea was not included on the list of 23 major drug-producing or trafficking countries, but the White House said it was increasingly convinced that North Korean state agents and enterprises were involved in the narcotics trade.
