KCNA Assails U.S. "Defense Strategy"

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, April 6 (KCNA) -- The Bush administration is persistently resorting to grave military adventure threatening humankind. The U.S. Defense Department worked out the "1-4-2-1 defense strategy", according to a recent issue of the Los Angeles Times.
    It was revised and supplemented last year on the basis of the reexamination of the defense strategy dating back to the era of the Cold War and the period of the Clinton administration. Its keynote is to spark disputes in any place anytime and bring down the systems of the countries it aims to seize, according to its option.
    This new defense strategy being the core of the U.S. strategy for world supremacy is arousing deep concern of the world public for its unprecedentedly adventurous and aggressive nature and aim and ways to carry it out as it is a strategy for preemptive nuclear attacks on different countries at the same time.
    The danger of this defense strategy lies in that it calls for conducting special and secret operations and using nukes as basic war methods according to the theory of preemptive strike and turning the U.S. military forces into active offensive forces, not reaction forces, as they have already been beefed up to the fullest extent.
    The strategy is aimed to expand the simultaneous operation capacity in the two regions during the Clinton administration to the one in the four regions. It calls for creating a smaller strike group equipped with powerful precision strike and latest information means, deploying it in an overseas base and organically combining the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency with irregular military forces.
    As already known, the Afghan and Iraqi wars are no more than a prelude to realizing the U.S. military strategy for world supremacy after the demise of the Cold War.
    After occupying Afghanistan and Iraq through the brigandish wars of aggression, the U.S. is set to carry into practice its strategy for world supremacy by putting the Middle East and Northeast Asia under its full control and, furthermore, containing big powers around the DPRK.
    It is by no means accidental that foreign media termed the new defense strategy a "very dangerous defense operation" as it involves preemptive strike, preemptive nuclear attack operation going beyond diplomacy.
    The DPRK and China are the major targets of the new defense strategy.
    In the U.S. defense strategy the DPRK and China are made major targets of strategic operation and a plan has already been worked out to strike the DPRK and China with nuclear and conventional weapons.
    The U.S. revised the "Iraq + North Korea operation plan" it had already worked out as the "Iran + North Korea operation plan." It is escalating the nuclear confrontation with the DPRK behind the scene of dialogue. It is working with bloodshot eyes to put into practice the strategy for preemptive nuclear attack to stifle the DPRK by force of arms.
    There is no doubt that the U.S. naval missile interceptor system to be deployed in the East Sea of Korea and other reckless military moves including joint military exercises under different codenames are quite contrary to its talk about the "negotiated settlement of the nuclear issue" and the U.S. design to stifle the DPRK remains unchanged.
    The reality clearly shows what a reckless and dangerous phase the U.S. moves for a war of aggression against the DPRK have reached.
    The DPRK will take a decisive self-defensive countermeasure to avert a war and defend peace in the Korean peninsula and in the rest of Northeast Asia.
