DPRK Emerges Victorious in Confrontation with U.S.

KCNA

    Pyongyang, December 11 (KCNA) -- This year the Bush administration's offensive against the DPRK proved bankrupt, predicting that it would certainly prevail over the U.S. in the confrontation, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article. It goes on: a grave situation prevailed on the Korean peninsula this year due to the U.S. imperialists' vicious hostile policy to stifle the DPRK.
    What merits attention in that policy this year is that the Bush administration desperately worked to unleash the second Korean war.
    The United States compelled the DPRK to withdraw from the NPT. This was an entirely just exercise of its sovereign right because the action was taken as the U.S. totally scrapped the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework.
    The U.S. imperialists adequately examined the feasibility and effectiveness of the plan to ignite the second Korean war through the Iraqi war. The ultimate goal of the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK was to provoke the second Korean war, a nuclear war. They needed a blasting fuse for this. The second nuclear crisis was to serve that purpose.
    What merits attention in the U.S. hostile policy towards the DPRK this year is that it increased its pressure upon the DPRK to the utmost. It was the U.S. tactics and design to bring the DPRK to its knees and wrest concessions from it through such persistent and stubborn offensive of pressure.
    The confrontation between the DPRK and the U.S. is the gravest and fiercest under the present international situation.
    This is the life and death political and ideological confrontation, confrontation with the U.S. in faith and will and a military showdown.
    The article describes 2003 as a proud year of victory in which the DPRK fully demonstrated its dignity as Songun Korea in its confrontation with the U.S. thanks to the Songun revolutionary leadership and outstanding strategy of Kim Jong Il and the might of its armed forces.
