U.S. Preparations for War Denounced

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, July 20 (KCNA) -- Senior officials of the U.S. administration and military played a double game, asserting that the United States would not weaken the war deterrent force in south Korea in the wake of its recent announcement that it would "reduce" some of its forces present in south Korea. Papers Tuesday in commentaries lay bare the U.S. ulterior aim lurking behind this game.
    Rodong Sinmun says:
    The U.S. is now drastically increasing the combat capacity of the U.S. troops in south Korea by massively shipping ultra modern military equipment into south Korea under the pretext of filling up the vacuum caused by a partial "reduction" of its forces in south Korea. This is nothing but a dangerous move to wind up the preparations for the second Korean war according to its strategy of preemptive attack in order to inflict another disaster of war upon the Korean people.
    The U.S. is working hard to stem the trend of the development of the inter-Korean relations characterized by the growing atmosphere of reconciliation and cooperation and foster the confrontation between the north and the south. Their ulterior aim is to keep south Korea under a permanent occupation and provoke a new war of aggression against the DPRK with it as a military springboard.
    Dialogue and preparations for a war can not go together. Success of the six-party talks for the settlement of the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula depends on whether the U.S. drops its hostile policy towards the DPRK or not. The "dialogue" on the lips of the U.S. is not aimed to solve the problem but to earn time to complete the war preparations. The war preparations stepped up by the Bush bellicose forces through the increase of their combat power behind the curtain of "dialogue" only compel the DPRK to bolster its physical deterrent force.
    It is the principled stand and the mode of defending the sovereignty maintained by the people of the DPRK that it should be fully prepared for both dialogue and war.
    Minju Joson notes that if the U.S. imperialists unleash a war against the DPRK at any cost the latter will fully demonstrate the might of the defence capability for self-defence its people have built up by tightening belt.
