U.S. begins bolstering its forces in Korean Peninsula
Pyongyang, February 5 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists have begun bolstering the huge aggression forces in the Korean Peninsula under the pretext of the nuclear issue, according to KBS and CBS of South Korea. The U.S. Department of Defense is examining a plan to send another aircraft carrier to the waters off the Korean Peninsula as a "show of force." The U.S. imperialists have long had a carrier forward deployed in the pacific region, at a Japanese port, but because of the possibility the carrier, kitty hawk, could be ordered to the Persian Gulf, officials are considering sending another to the Korean region.Timed to coincide with U.S. Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld's disclosure of the fact that pentagon is also considering adding more air force presence on the Korean Peninsula, the U.S. ordered "B-52", "B-1" and two dozens of long-range bombers to get ready for deployment on Guam island for the purpose of supporting its forces in South Korea. For this deployment, about 2,000 troops, mostly air force personnel, were ordered to be ready to move. Several fighter bombers and "U-2" reconnaissance aircraft could be added to U.S. Forces in South Korea and Japan, press reports said.
Meanwhile, the U.S. also ordered thousands of soldiers in South Korea to extend their stay even after the expiry of their service term there.
All these facts go to prove that the war hysteria of the U.S. imperialists keen to isolate and stifle the DPRK under the pretext of the nuclear issue has reached a more reckless phase.
