Dismantlement of U.S. Forces Bases in S. Korea Called for

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, March 11 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists are stepping up the preparations for transferring the U.S. military bases and troops in areas north of the River Han to areas south of the river according to an "innovative military program" which calls for rendering the north's combat capacity ineffective from the outset of the war through precision attacks on it mainly by naval and air forces. A signed commentary of Rodong Sinmun Thursday terms this move a prelude to a war of aggression against the DPRK, a product of a criminal plot to prevent the north and the south of Korea from achieving reconciliation and cooperation and bring the holocaust of a nuclear war to the Korean nation at any cost and a dangerous move to invade Asia-Pacific and put the region under its domination.
    The commentary goes on:
    It is an important issue related to the sovereignty of the Korean nation and the peace of the country and, furthermore, peace and stability in Asia-Pacific and other parts of the world to force the U.S. troops to withdraw from south Korea and dismantle their bases there.
    The U.S. imperialists, prompted by their strategic and wild ambition, occupied half of the Korean peninsula, a region of geopolitical importance, and converted it into a huge military base for the three services of their forces.
    A new war on the Korean peninsula and in Asia is unavoidable as long as the U.S. forces bases remain in south Korea.
    It is as clear as noonday that in case a new war breaks out in Korea by the U.S. imperialists, it will not be limited to the Korean peninsula but spill over into all other areas of Asia.
    The U.S. should drop its anachronistic ambition for world supremacy and make a bold decision to abolish its forces bases in south Korea and withdraw aggression troops from there as required by the Korean nation and the world peace-loving people.
    This would be beneficial to the U.S., too.
