U.S. deputy defense secretary's outbursts rebuffed

KCNA

    Pyongyang, July 1 (KCNA) -- Some days before U.S. deputy defense secretary Wolfowitz, addressing a meeting of the house armed services committee, said: "the U.S. has the military capabilities to defeat North Korea, using all of the means at our disposal, the enormously improved strike capabilities that the world had seen in Iraq." He uttered this while raising a hue and cry over the possibility of the DPRK's attack upon someone. And he said that "the U.S. would make substantial investments to further strengthen the war fighting capabilities of the U.S. troops in South Korea and expect South Korea to significantly increase its military spending to cope with a possible war."
    In this regard Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary says that in view of the war outcries made by Wolfowitz, the outbreak of the second Korean war no longer seems to be a hypothesis.
    The commentary goes on:
    The U.S. plan for a military attack upon the DPRK has already been put into concrete shape. The U.S. is persistently insisting on multilateral talks in a bid to shift the responsibility for the nuclear crisis on the Korean peninsula onto the DPRK, while turning aside from the DPRK's constructive and principled proposals. This means that Washington is at the phase of making preparations for a military attack on the DPRK to stifle it.
    Its next phase is to lay an international siege to the DPRK in a bid to suffocate it and, on this basis, launch a war to finally seize the whole Korean peninsula.
    What the U.S. really seeks is not the settlement of the nuclear crisis on the Korean peninsula but putting it under its complete military control. This is clearly evidenced by the massive deployment of ultra-modern military hardware and intelligence gathering means and the relocation of the U.S. troops in South Korea.
    If the U.S. warlike forces provoke a war against the army and people of the DPRK, the Korean peninsula will turn into a graveyard of aggressors.
