U.S. Anti-DPRK Diatribe Assailed

KCNA

    Pyongyang, October 7 (KCNA) -- Officials of the Bush administration are seizing various occasions to create impression that the U.S. is exerting efforts for the peaceful settlement of the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. Lurking behind this is the U.S. sinister aim to cover up its vicious military moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK and win in the upcoming presidential election. Minju Joson today says this in a signed commentary. It goes on:
    The U.S. is the very one who spawned the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. and has hamstrung its peaceful settlement, disregarding Pyongyang's every effort and reasonable proposal for it.
    After this nuclear issue surfaced, the DPRK, as a party responsible for settling it, has exerted sincere efforts to peacefully settle the nuclear issue, making every possible concession, and advanced various reasonable proposals one after another.
    The nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. would have long been settled peacefully had the DPRK's consistent efforts and proposals been implemented.
    The U.S., however, has persistently shunned the efforts and proposals made by the DPRK for the peaceful settlement of the nuclear issue between the two countries and is now only insisting on its unilateral assertions. The U.S. is now becoming ever more undisguised in its military moves to stifle the DPRK in and around the Korean peninsula, thus compounding the nuclear issue, instead of working to solve it.
    The DPRK is left with no option but to intensify the counteraction now that it has become clear that the U.S. does not have any willingness to renounce its hostile policy toward the DPRK.
