Rodong Sinmun Calls for Simultaneous Action

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, June 14 (KCNA) -- The Bush group of the U.S. is making free with sophism, abruptly talking about the "destiny" of light water reactors. What they assert is that there is no prospect of the construction of light water reactors and concession such as resuming their construction is unthinkable. Rodong Sinmun Monday in a signed commentary dismisses it as a typical robber-like logic of U.S style whereby it thinks of and views everything reverse fashion and behave unilaterally.
    The commentary says:
    In bringing forward again the "destiny" of light water reactors the Bush administration seeks to evade the criminal responsibility for having rendered things complicate by frustrating the settlement of the pending issues between the DPRK and the U.S. and scrapped the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework before the presidential election slated for November. This, however, is a crude and despicable attempt to craftily shift their responsibility on to the others by an unpopular sleight of hand.
    The DPRK has drawn a precious lesson from the ignorant act of the Bush administration which cast away in a moment even an official document signed by the ex-president of the U.S. itself like a scrap of paper. The lesson is that relations based on confidence are out of question with the Bush administration and that every issue with the U.S. must be settled strictly on the principle of one to one simultaneous action. According to this very lesson, the DPRK proposed simultaneous action on the principle of "reward for freeze".
    The Bush administration would be advised not to bend vain efforts to dodge the responsibility for the present state of things and, though belatedly, make a practicable option to open the door of confidence-building.
