This seems more premeditated than "fishing". More nuanced than anybody has given Bush credit for.
The most interesting possibility for me is that the US is forcing up the cost for SK to have the status quo. Perhaps the cost comparison between a quick collapse of NK/unified Korea versus a perpetual sunshine policy is more favorable to our policies now.

You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
