US Redeployment of Its Armed Forces under Fire

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, February 29 (KCNA) -- The United States, while redeploying its forces overseas, is advertising the relocation of its troops in south Korea as "part of reforms" under way worldwide and claims this contributes to the "detente." In this regard Rodong Sinmun today says in a signed commentary:
    This is nothing but sheer sophism to veil the cunning design of the U.S. imperialists because the relocation of the U.S. troops in south Korea is aimed to wind up the preparations for a war of aggression against the DPRK, block the process of confidence building between the north and the south, establish their military domination over Northeast Asia and monopolize the arms market in south Korea.
    The U.S. stepped-up moves to relocate its troops in south Korea are intended to finally complete the military operational preparations for the second Korean war against the DPRK, pursuant to its "strategy for preemptive attack" and "new operation plan 5026".
    The U.S. is pushing forward this relocation at a time when a fierce anti-US struggle is now going on in south Korea. Lurking behind its moves is a sinister aim to retain its grip on south Korea under the pretext of "security commitment", fan up war phobia among south Koreans, block the process of confidence building between the north and the south, deter Koreans from building the structure of their confrontation with the U.S. at any cost and create conditions for a preemptive attack on the DPRK.
    The Bush administration seeks to monopolize the arms market in south Korea in a bid to win support from the U.S. munitions monopolies in the presidential election. The US relocation of its forces in south Korea is rendering the situation on the Korean peninsula and in the rest of Northeast Asia more complicated and seriously threatening and disturbing peace, security and stability there.
    The U.S. troops, the main source of war and aggression, should not be relocated in south Korea but be withdrawn from it.
