Here's an example of making a story out of nothing:

] President George W. Bush's remark that a resolution to
] the North Korea nuclear arms dispute would be "either
] diplomacy or military" marks a shift in tone from his
] previous statements that played down the military option.
] In numerous other pronouncements, Bush had unequivocally
] ruled out a U.S. invasion of the North, without
] commenting on the possibility of a military air strike.

The question and answer, in context, are as follows:

] Good morning, Mr. President. This morning you reiterated
] diplomacy as the way to deal with North Korea. With all due
] respect, some people say that's precisely the wrong approach
] because diplomacy has produced nothing, while at the same
] time it has allowed North Korea to progress in its nuclear program.
]
] THE PRESIDENT: Yes.
]
] Q How do you -- what do you say to them?
]
] THE PRESIDENT: Well, then let's see -- if it's the wrong -- if
] diplomacy is the wrong approach, I guess that means military.
] That's how I view it -- it's either diplomacy or military. And I am
] for the diplomacy approach. And so, for those who say that we
] ought to be using our military to solve the problem, I would say
] that, while all options are on the table, we've got -- we've got a
] ways to go to solve this diplomatically --

To interpret this statement as a shift in US policy toward military options in NK is silly. Of course, the Republicans have been trained to say that everytime the media does something like this its because they are "liberal." This is just as much a fantasy. They do this for money. They do it to everyone. Its what they do.
