U.S. Urged to Stop Maneuvers

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, March 19 (KCNA) -- Foal Eagle and the reception, staging, onward movement and integration, the joint war exercises the U.S. forces and the south Korean army are about to begin on March 22, clearly show what the ulterior intention of the U.S. is, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary. The news analyst says:
    The U.S. often talks about "dialogue" and "peaceful settlement" of the nuclear issue, but it seeks to stage a test war reminiscent of a full-scale war aimed to invade the DPRK by force and launch an all-out war on the Korean peninsula so as to exterminate the Korean nation.
    The DPRK that is making all sincere efforts for the preservation of peace on the Korean peninsula and the settlement of the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. showed maximum magnanimity at the recent six-way talks by advancing fair and flexible proposals.
    However, the U.S. has escalated military rackets against the DPRK in a phased way behind the scene of dialogue while persistently pursuing its hostile policy toward the DPRK.
    If the six-way talks are to be continued, an atmosphere favorable for them should be created before anything else.
    If the U.S. seeks to solve the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. by a physical way in its unilateral strategic interests, not by a peaceful way, the army and people of the DPRK will react to it with a strong military deterrent force.
    The U.S. should not dare test the patience, will and strength of the DPRK.
    The U.S. would be well advised to stop kicking up military rackets chilling the atmosphere of the talks and shadowing their prospect, if it truly wants the peaceful solution of the issue.
