U.S. Hit for Obstructing Reconciliation, Cooperation and Reunification

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, June 16 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today holds the United States chiefly responsible for desperately obstructing the implementation of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration and the peaceful reunification of the Korean peninsula. Recalling that no sooner had the Bush administration come to power than it listed the DPRK as part of an "axis of evil" before understanding it properly and defined it as its policy to make preemptive attacks on the DPRK and has pursued it, the news analyst says:
    Since the adoption of the declaration the U.S., displeased with it, has hamstrung its implementation overtly or covertly. It went to the lengths of openly blocking the process of reconciliation among Koreans and peaceful reunification by putting pressure upon the south Korean authorities to adjust the tempo of improving the inter-Korean relations under the pretext of the nuclear issue, claiming that the process of improving the inter-Korean relations is too fast.
    Of late the U.S. is stepping up the relocation of the U.S. troops in south Korea and the moves to increase their combat power. It intends to spend 11 billion dollars for equipping the U.S. troops in south Korea with ultra-modern arms and remarkably increasing the mobility and striking power.
    A lot of the latest war equipment has already been shipped into south Korea from Iraq or in the process of transfer.
    Neither successful implementation of the declaration nor independent reunification can be expected as long as the U.S. persistently pursues the hostile policy toward the DPRK.
    Unshakable are the desire and will of the Koreans to foil the U.S. interference and achieve the independent and peaceful reunification of the country by the concerted efforts of the nation. The U.S. should face up to the reality, stop obstructing the implementation of the declaration, pull its forces out of south Korea and take its hands off Korea. This would be in line with the interests of the U.S.
