KCNA blasts U.S. war outcries

KCNA

    Pyongyang, July 30 (KCNA) -- U.S. belligerent forces are now letting loose a string of war outcries to contain the DPRK by force. On July 24 mires, chairman of the U.S. joint chiefs of staff, said that the U.S. forces in South Korea are ready to take part in a war anytime, and on July 27 Laporte, commander of the U.S. forces in South Korea, asserted that the U.S. forces will win a "victory" with technological superiority in case of "emergency" on the Korean Peninsula.
    Such war outbursts can not but arouse the caution of the DPRK as they were little short of a dangerous signal for putting into practice their strategy for a preemptive attack on the DPRK.
    Such green light was given to the war action at a time when the U.S. is massively deploying ultra-modern military hardware in and around the Korean Peninsula after announcing the "Operation Plan 5030", a new war scenario to attack the DPRK, recently. This clearly indicates that the Bush administration totally threw away the signboard of "dialogue" and "peace" it has ostensibly professed as regards the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula and is opting to stifle the DPRK by military attack at any cost. And it has become clearer why the U.S. is dead-set against the DPRK-proposed bilateral talks between the DPRK and the U.S. and the conclusion of a non-aggression treaty between them.
    The reckless military moves of the U.S. self-expose that its oft-repeated "peaceful solution to the nuclear issue of North Korea" is no more than a fig leaf to cover up its moves to invade the DPRK by force.
    The DPRK put forward a landmark proposal to hold the bilateral talks between the DPRK and the U.S. to conclude a non-aggression treaty between them for the peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.
    However, the U.S. insisted only on the unacceptable assertion that the DPRK "should scrap its nuclear weapons program before dialogue", ignoring its just demand, and raised such secondary issues as the format of talks as preconditions.
    We have already declared that if the U.S. has a willingness to drop its hostile policy toward the DPRK, we will not stick to the format of talks.
    It is the stand of the DPRK that the bilateral talks should be held between the DPRK and the U.S. to be followed by the U.S.-proposed multilateral talks in order to settle the nuclear issue between Pyongyang and Washington.
    Nevertheless, the U.S. refuses to accept the DPRK's just proposal. This proves once again that the U.S. is pursuing only the policy of strength to bring the DPRK to its knees behind the curtain of dialogue.
    Dialogue and war can never go together.
    Now that the united states does not abandon its attempt to stifle the DPRK by force, the DPRK will further increase the self-reliant defence capability and take all necessary steps to prevent the war and protect the sovereignty and security of the country and the destiny and dignity of the nation.
