U.S. Urged to Drop Scheme to Stifle DPRK

KCNA

    Pyongyang, December 3 (KCNA) -- U.S. Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld called for tightening the U.S.-Japan and U.S.-south Korea security alliance while touring Japan, south Korea and the Guam some time ago. He even cried that the use of nuclear weapons against the DPRK would not be excluded. Coinciding with this, the U.S. Department of Defense again declared its stand that the withdrawal of the U.S. forces from south Korea was impossible and Armitage and other senior officials of the Bush administration demanded the deployment of more armed forces in the Asia-Pacific region.
    Minju Joson today in a signed commentary notes that the DPRK would not be indifferent to their remarks that openly manifested the Bush administration's invariable scheme to stifle the DPRK.
    It continues:
    The strengthening of the U.S.-Japan and U.S.-south Korea security alliance cried for by the U.S. hard-line conservative forces means nothing but tightened military tie-up, which is aimed at crushing the DPRK by force of arms.
    It must not go unnoticed that those hard-line conservative forces in the U.S. are crying for the "possible use of nuclear weapons" against the DPRK even now when the U.S.-DPRK nuclear issue is on the order of the day.
    Dialogue can never go with pressure. Under the present situation, the DPRK cannot but strengthen its self-defense capabilities in every way in order to cope with at any time the U.S. moves to crush the DPRK which are getting more desperate behind the curtain of dialogue.
    The U.S. should immediately give up its scheme to destroy the DPRK and make a sincere approach to a solution to the nuclear issue between the two countries, looking straight into the present situation.
