U.S. State Secretary's anti-DPRK remarks blasted

KCNA

    Pyongyang, June 24 (KCNA) -- U.S. State Secretary Powell and other of the Bush group recently cried out for increasing pressure and making preparations for destroying nuclear-related facilities while talking about the solution to the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula. Dismissing these outbursts as an open declaration of a war against the DPRK, Minju Joson today in a signed commentary says: The situation on the Korean peninsula is growing tenser as the days go by due to the Bush group's undisguised moves to stifle the DPRK by force and the acute confrontation between the DPRK and the U.S. may lead to a war anytime. This situation compels the DPRK to do whatever it deems necessary.
    The DPRK has not only the legitimate right to take self-defensive measures but the will and capability enough to exercise it.
    Now that the U.S. is invariably seeking to stifle the DPRK by force, the latter is left with no option but to take all measures as scheduled. Under the present circumstances and conditions the DPRK is compelled not only to increase its nuclear deterrent force but build up something more powerful than that for self-defence.
    The U.S. should ruminate about what consequences its acts of rattling the DPRK's nerves and escalating the military stand-off with the DPRK will entail.
