U.S. high-ranking official's anti-DPRK remarks slammed
KCNA
Pyongyang, March 25 (KCNA) -- Rice, special assistant to the U.S. President for National Security, in her ABC appearance cried out for putting the maximum pressure on the DPRK to disarm it, again raising a hue and cry over a sort of "threat of weapons of mass destruction".
In this regard Minju Joson today in a signed commentary says:
This betrays the invariable intention of the U.S. hard-line conservatives to disarm and militarily stifle the DPRK.
The U.S. hard-line conservatives' talk about any "threat of weapons of mass destruction" is nothing but a subterfuge to justify their reckless moves to militarily stifle the DPRK. This is a very dangerous development. What is now happening in Iraq clearly tells what serious consequences their moves will bring about. no one can vouch that the U.S. will not spark the second Iraqi crisis on the Korean Peninsula.
Their evermore undisguised moves to stifle the DPRK by force compel the army and people of the DPRK to channel all efforts to increasing self-defensive capability in every way to frustrate them.
The DPRK will increase its national defense power on its own without the slightest vacillation no matter what others may say.
If the U.S. hard-line conservatives misjudge the will of the army and people of the DPRK and persistently opt to stifle the DPRK by force, they will meet an irrevocable bitter setback.
