KCNA Slams U.S. Wild Ambition for World Supremacy

KCNA

    Pyongyang, August 9 (KCNA) -- The U.S. administration's stepped-up moves to reorganize the U.S. forces and bases overseas draw the attention of the international community and media. The reason is explained by the fact the U.S. regards this as a major premise on which its bellicose "new defense policy" can be implemented.
    In advocating this plan the U.S. claims that a new world-wide security crisis was created after the demise of the Cold War due to terrorism and unpredictable attacks of "rogue states" and the U.S. forces should, therefore, be reorganized to promptly cope with those threats.
    Such assertion of the U.S. is, however, nothing but hypocritical sophism as it lacks any reason and evidence to convince the international community of it.
    The basic aim of the U.S. as the world's "only superpower" after the end of the cold war is to provide military guarantee for mounting a preemptive attack upon those countries which the u.s. considers as obstacles to establishing a U.S.-led world order.
    The changed situation and the aspiration of the international community after independence no longer allow the overseas presence of the u.s. forces. this is a strong demand of the present era and history.
    Instead of giving up its anachronistic privileged position, the U.S. is scheming to reinforce the policy of military occupation under the pretext of reorganizing its troops.
    The U.S. is creating an impression that any change likely to take place in the traditional structure of "European security", which has been preserved against the background of nature and influence of NATO with the U.S. troops being its main axis, due to the reorganization of the U.S. troops might disturb the security and stability in the region. This is intended to keep European countries within the framework of the shackling alliance.
    The purpose of the U.S. transfer of its forces from Saudi Arabia is to calm down the anti-U.S. sentiment that has mounted in the country since the "September 11 incident" and send a strong message calling for a change in the state political system to Saudi Arabia, a troublesome ally with which Washington has maintained nexus because of crude oil, in a bid to create a geopolitical atmosphere in the region where a political system based on the U.S. style view on value prevails.
    The most important object in the U.S. plan to reorganize the U.S. troops is the Asia-Pacific Region. The reason: the focus of the U.S. world strategy is shifting from Europe to the region.
    The U.S. forces in the Asia-Pacific region is being reorganized in the direction of further strengthening the military ties with south Korea and Japan, readjusting and reinforcing the strategic positions in Hawaii, Okinawa and Guam and setting up new U.S. military bases in Australia and the Southeast Asian region.
    The moves to reorganize the u.s. troops in south Korea are drawing special attention as they pose a serious danger to Northeast Asia.
    The political and military situation prevailing on the Korean peninsula due to the second nuclear crisis created by the U.S. is so grave that a war may break out any moment.
    Lurking behind the U.S. announcement of a plan to beef up the military forces in south Korea and a plan to reorganize the U.S. troops there before those for other regions is a sinister criminal purpose.
    The U.S. seeks to put into practice under the signboard of the reorganization of the U.S. troops its plan for a "preemptive attack" on the DPRK, which the Bush administration has vociferated about since its appearance.
    It is by no means fortuitous that foreign and south Korean media commented that the main purpose of the reorganization of the U.S. troops is to reposition the U.S. second infantry division deployed on the front called "wire trap" in the area south of the River Han to occupy a strategic area favorable for an "preemptive attack" and "aerial attack" upon the DPRK.
    Another important purpose of the U.S. is to link the repositioning of forces with the hypocritical concept of "the U.S. troop cutback" in a bid to calm down the anti-U.S. sentiment of the south Korean people and, at the same time, put pressure upon the pro-U.S. conservative forces to create a favorable political climate for justifying the presence of the U.S. troops in south Korea.
    The director for East Asia of the defense intelligence service of the U.S. Defense Department who visited south Korea claimed that the U.S. should attach strategic importance to Northeast Asia including south Korea. But it is difficult to stress only the alliance without any imminent crisis or clear reason, he added, noting that the reorganization would result in the reduction of U.S. troops.
    His remarks mean that it is necessary to maintain the crisis on the Korean peninsula for the continued presence of U.S. forces and the beefing up of the military forces in Northeast Asia.
    The reorganization of the U.S. forces is also aimed to increase the armament to carry out its strategy to dominate the world and force south Korea to cover the bulk of its expenditure.
    This is clearly evidenced by the remarks made by Wolfowitz, deputy secretary of defense, at a hearing of the House of Representatives on June 18 that despite the repositioning of U.S. troops in south Korea, the anti-north deterrent force would be further beefed up and south Korea should increase its defence spending.
    One more sinister aim sought by the U.S. in the reorganization of U.S. forces is to keep the U.S. troops permanently stationed in south Korea under the name of "Northeast Asia security force" and use them for achieving the strategic purpose of escalating a new war to be started to all over the continent.
    Peter Brookes, U.S. assistant secretary of defense, addressing U.S. congress on may 8 last year said that a new task force with a aircraft carrier as its main force would be deployed in West Pacific, attributing it to the appearance of China.
    A south Korean radio said that through the reorganization the U.S. would pursue a strategy of putting a considerable part of the anti-north deterrent force in charge of the south Korean army and attaching importance to the role of Northeast Asian security force.
    The reorganization of the U.S. troops in south Korea and other parts of the world is thus aimed to put spurs to the implementation of its policy to beef up the military forces, a basic guarantee for the implementation of its "new defense policy" designed to dominate the world.
