Redeployment of U.S. Forces for Preemptive Attacks under Fire

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, June 16 (KCNA) -- It is the design of the United States to make a switchover in its strategy from the Cold War era strategy of keeping troops in the specific regions to the strategy of task forces and realize its ambition for Korean aggression and Asian domination through preemptive attack and an indiscriminating war by use of ultra-modern war means, observes Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary. While talking about "cutback of U.S. forces and their redeployment" in the Asia-Pacific region including south Korea, the U.S. is creating the impression that its policy of military domination over this region is undergoing a sort of change.
    It is, however, becoming clear that the redeployment of forces stepped up by the U.S. in real earnest in south Korea and various other areas is aimed at using Japan as a most important stronghold for taking prompt actions in the Asia-Pacific region and south Korea as an axis for the transfer of its forces.
    The U.S. has already deployed scores of the latest Patriot missiles and ultra-modern reconnaissance planes in south Korea. It intends to spend 11 billion dollars in four years to come for deploying military hardware and equipment with high mobility and striking power there in a bid to significantly bolster the combat power of the U.S. forces. Its deployment of new type task operation means in the vicinity of south Korea, Hawaii, Guam and Asia-Pacific area is meant to carry out its scenario for mounting a preemptive attack on the DPRK by use of powerful task forces.
    All this goes to clearly prove that the moves the U.S. is stepping up more desperately than ever before to increase its strategic forces, task striking forces and long-distance operation capability under the signboard of "troops cutback" in and around south Korea are aimed at holding an unchallenged military strategic edge and realizing its strategy of Asian invasion, come what may.
    Not only the DPRK but its neighboring countries are targets of the U.S. new military strategy.
    These dangerous moves of the U.S. escalating the military tension in the region are bound to go bust.
