U.S. Defense Secretary's anti-DPRK remarks
KCNA
Pyongyang, February 12 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry gave an answer to a question put by KCNA today as regards remarks terming the DPRK a "terrorist regime" made by U.S. Secretary of Defence Rumsfeld.
The spokesman said:
Shortly ago, Rumsfeld slandered the DPRK, calling it "terrorist regime" all of a sudden for no reason.
Such utterances draw our attention as they were made against the backdrop of the u.s. military reinforcement of aggression around the Korean Peninsula targeted against the DPRK.
It is a stark fact that the DPRK has nothing to do with terrorism and has consistently maintained the stand of opposing any form of terrorism, which was admitted by the U.S. administration authorities in the past.
The United States declared an "anti-terrorism war" to the world and is now sparking a war wherever it goes.
Under this situation, the U.S. Secretary of Defense listed the DPRK as "a terrorist regime". This means that the united states has internally designated the DPRK as the next target of its "anti-terrorism war".
The reason why the U.S. refused to accept the DPRK Government's proposal for the conclusion of a non-aggression pact between the two countries is getting clearer as the days go by.
The U.S. again raised the hackneyed charge of being a "terrorist regime" in a desperate attempt to mount a military attack on the DPRK at any cost. But this only proves that no pretext for attack can be found in the DPRK Government's principled stand and measure related to the nuclear issue.
It has become clearer that the U.S. is seeking to stifle the DPRK by force under any pretext and this makes more obvious where the DPRK should go.
