Bush Administration's Anti-DPRK Moves This Year

KCNA

    Pyongyang, December 29 (KCNA) -- This year the U.S. imperialists have escalated tensions on the Korean peninsula, pursuant to a hostile policy toward the DPRK. U.S. President Bush in his "state of the union address" slandered the DPRK, saying that it is developing nuclear weapons deceiving the world, and it is using its nuclear weapons program for creating a terror-ridden atmosphere and wresting concession.
    The U.S. even went to the lengths of instigating some elements of the International Atomic Energy Agency to hold a meeting of its Board of Directors and referring the DPRK issue to the UNSC.
    The U.S. lobbied the UNSC for adopting a statement of its president in a bid to escalate the international pressure upon the DPRK under the name of the UN and secure a justification for its armed aggression of the DPRK..
    The G-8 summit held under the manipulation of the U.S. adopted a declaration attacking the DPRK, claiming that it "violated" international obligation by failing to implement the safeguards agreement with the IAEA.
    The U.S. has craftily worked to exploit those meetings for the settlement of the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. as a leverage for attaining its sinister aim.
    At the talks held in Beijing toward the end of April the U.S. failed to advance any proposal but repeated its old assertion that the DPRK should scrap its nuclear weapons program first.
    At the six-way talks held toward the end of August it clearly revealed the fact that it has neither willingness to improve relations with the DPRK nor any intention to make a switchover in its policy toward the DPRK but is only keen to completely disarm the DPRK, far from opting to co-exist peacefully with it.
    After the six-way talks the U.S. let loose the sophism about a "peaceful solution" intended to deceive the international community desirous of a fair and early solution to the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. while escalating its, blockade and pressure against the DPRK, talking about "naval inspection exercises" and others.
    During the APEC summit held in Thailand Bush proposed "written security assurances" and conducted vicious and mean smear campaigns to isolate and stifle the DPRK.
    He and U.S. Defense Secretary Rumsfeld let loose vituperation against the DPRK, terming it a "terrorist regime" and malignantly slandering its political system and government.
    Washington resorted to all sorts of mean smear campaigns to tarnish the dignity of the DPRK, bringing all conceivable charges against it such as "drug smuggling", "counterfeit money", "suppression of religion," "flesh traffic," "training of computer hackers" and "arms smuggling".
    Toward the end of May the U.S. imperialists announced an "arms buildup plan" to arm the U.S. troops in south Korea with new type weapons.
    By this the U.S. totally scrapped sub-paragraph 13 d of the Armistice Agreement which stipulates cease of the introduction into Korea of reinforcing combat aircraft, armored vehicles, weapons, and ammunition.
    From January to November the U.S. imperialists conducted aerial espionage against the DPRK 2,100 times by mobilizing strategic reconnaissance planes, electronic reconnaissance planes, patrol planes, commanding planes, and tactical reconnaissance planes.
    All these facts go to prove once again that the DPRK government was just when it took the measure to build up its nuclear deterrent force this year under the uplifted banner of Songun, clearly seeing through the true aggressive nature of the U.S. imperialists.
