U.S. Reckless Ambition for World Supremacy -KCNA News Analyst's Article -

KCNA

    Pyongyang, February 24 (KCNA) -- The United States is pushing ahead with the reorganization of the U.S. forces and the establishment of a missile defence system. The U.S. reorganization plan includes the readjustment of its military installations across the world, access to hotspots, formation of a task force with an increased capacity of long-distance sophisticated strike and the establishment of its commanding system. It is aimed to easily seize regions with strategic resources and areas of political and military importance by launching a forestalling attack.
    According to the U.S. Defence Department's annual report for 2003 "Structure of Bases", the United States, which is keeping about 702 military installations in about 130 countries and some 6,000 in its mainland and colonies, is planning to build new bases for the U.S. forces' access to targets of strategic importance.
    The United States thinks that through the readjustment and expansion of military bases, it will be able to tighten the encirclement ring around the major powers in the Asia-Pacific region which was formed after the Afghan and Iraqi wars, heighten the speed of attack on targets of invasion and blockade and control other countries' involvement as it wishes.
    The United States, under the pretext of the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula and diversified "security threat", has intensified arms buildup in the region. It also plans to reshape the operational commanding system into a wartime one.
    The Washington Times February 3 said the U.S. Defence Department was going ahead with the extensive reorganization of the Pacific Command and it seemed that a post of a four-star general commanding all the forces including the south Korea-based U.S. Command and the "Combined Command" would be established in south Korea and an army headquarters commanded by a three-star general set up in Japan.
    That day a spokesman for the U.S. Air Force announced that about six B-52s and hundreds of crewmen would be sent to Guam from the mainland, while officials of the Defence Department said other bombers could also be sent to the Pacific region in the future.
    The reorganization of the U.S. forces in the Asia-Pacific region indicates that the danger of a new war is ever increasing on the Korean peninsula and its vicinity in view of the bellicose foreign policy of the U.S. administration and the Afghan and Iraqi wars.
    Meanwhile, the United States has persistently pushed ahead with the establishment of a missile defence system, which has already been condemned, wrecking the strategic stability of the world.
    The U.S. Defence Department is planning to deploy the first elements of the missile defence system in Alaska this summer several months ahead of the schedule.
    It is envisaged that six interceptor missiles will be installed in underground hangars in Alaska in May and June and an early warning radar station will be set up on Aleutian Islands in around July.
    The United States plans to deploy another ten interceptor missiles and some ten Aegis sea-launched missiles in Alaska next year and, at the same time, build a sea-based radar station and recondition the radar system in the territory of Britain.
    The U.S. plans concerning the reorganization of its forces and the establishment of a missile defence system, which threaten peace and stability in the international community, will spark off another arms race and cause confrontation, contradiction and disputes in international relations for the control of strategic resources.
