Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)

KCNA flails U.S. strategy for preemptive strike

Pyongyang, July 29 (KCNA) -- "Information" used by the United States for justifying the Iraqi War has proved totally false, creating a great furor. The Bush administration has so far spearheaded the operation to scour every nook and corner of Iraq so as to find out objective evidence proving Iraq's "possession of weapons of mass destruction" which it cited as a pretext for starting the Iraqi War. But it has so far proved futile, thus driving Washington into a political predicament.

At a time when there is an increasing doubt on the international arena about information about "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq, U.S. political and press circles are becoming increasingly assertive that the Bush administration might distort or hype the above-said information when launching the attack on Iraq.

It is becoming clearer that the "information" is false as those involved in the war expressed their understanding of their assertion.

Much upset by this, the bush regime tried to clinch the case by shifting the blame for the leakage of false information about the Iraq's "plan for purchasing uranium" onto the CIA.

The Iraqi War broke out as the inspection conducted under the pretext of "anti-terrorism" demanded disarmament and systematically led to an armed attack. It was a war of aggression and state terrorism the U.S. unilaterally committed, ignoring international law and the united nations, to meet its political purpose and economic interests.

The U.S. intends to apply the same methods to the DPRK as it did in the Iraqi War. It was by no means before long that the U.S. had to pay a price for peddling false "information" about "enriched uranium plan" and the suspected "secret underground nuclear facility" in Kumchang-ri of the DPRK.

By nature, the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula was caused by the policy to stifle the DPRK pursued by the U.S. that regards the DPRK as an anathema to it, not an issue of whether one develops nuclear weapons or not.

The U.S. council on foreign relations in a recent report titled "meeting nuclear challenge of North Korea" said that the U.S. should consider pushing forward tough measures to the possible scope though it does not command full support from regional allies.

As the document shows, the U.S. is not concealing its vicious plot to mount a preemptive military attack on the DPRK at any cost under the pretext of the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula.

The escalated reckless moves of the U.S. to carry out its strategy for preemptive attack compels the army and the people in the DPRK to keep themselves fully combat-ready.

If the U.S., which seems to be upbeat after the Iraqi War, goes on with its policy to stifle the DPRK without discretion, it will only precipitate its self-destruction.
