U.S. Plan to Bolster Its Armed Forces under Fire

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, May 7 (KCNA) -- The DPRK will not remain a passive on-looker to the U.S. moves to deploy more aggressor armed forces including Patriot missiles and destroyer Aegis in and around south Korea, but take a strong self-defensive measure to counter it, warns a spokesman for the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland in a statement Friday. The statement said: The U.S. warmongers announced the plan to deploy Aegis and Patriot missiles, which are usually deployed in major dispute-torn areas, in and around south Korea, timed to coincide with the relocation of the U.S. troops in south Korea. This is a grave military provocation against the DPRK and a dangerous arms build-up disturbing peace and stability of the Korean peninsula and the region.
    This plan came at a time when contact and dialogue, cooperation and exchange are brisk between the north and the south and a meeting of the working group of the six-party talks is slated to take place before long. This more glaringly discloses the heinous attempt of the Bush administration to harass peace and stability of the Korean peninsula and more desperately pursue confrontation and war.
    The U.S. should ponder over the disastrous consequences to be entailed by its reckless acts and behave with discretion. The south Korean authorities should not be an accomplice of the U.S. in its reckless arms build-up but unhesitatingly take the road of patriotism to deter foreign aggressor forces from provoking a nuclear war.
