Total Withdrawal of U.S. Troops from S. Korea Demanded

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, August 6 (KCNA) -- The U.S. "cutback" and relocation of its forces in south Korea are aimed to equip them with up-to-date means of war behind this curtain and maximize their capability for a preemptive attack on the DPRK. Rodong Sinmun Friday says this in a signed article. U.S. brasshats openly claimed that the reduction of U.S. forces in south Korea would help bolster the combat capability as south Korea would be provided with modern war deterrent, the article notes, and continues:
    The U.S. is, in actuality, stepping up its arms buildup in south Korea in real earnest.
    Under its plan to bolster its forces in south Korea announced last year the U.S. will massively introduce the latest unmanned reconnaissance planes, armed helicopters, missiles, precision guided bombs, infantry battle vehicles, electronic commanding systems and other war equipment worth more than ten billion dollars into south Korea. As soon as the plan was announced more than 20 sophisticated helicopters Longbow AH-64D were additionally deployed in units of the U.S. forces in south Korea and some of PAC-2 were replaced with PAC-3.
    This year, too, the U.S. keeps shipping into south Korea the modern combat equipment it had tested in the Iraqi war under the pretext of beefing up its war deterrent.
    The U.S. preparations for a war against the DPRK are not confined to its frantic arms buildup. The U.S. imperialists are staging all forms of war maneuvers one after another to effectively use their up-to-date war equipment for a surprise preemptive strike at the DPRK.
    The U.S. relocation of its forces in south Korea in the area south of the River Han is aimed at helping them get rid of the range of the retaliatory strike of the Korean People's Army in case they ignite a war against the DPRK.
    All these facts go to clearly prove that the real purpose of the U.S. "cutback" and relocation of the U.S. troops in south Korea is to unleash the second Korean war.
    The U.S. should totally withdraw its forces from south Korea, instead of reducing or relocating them.
