Remarks of Spokesman for U.S. State Department under Fire

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, August 9 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the U.S. State Department recently cried that the U.S. had not withdrawn from the table the option including the use of strength, which was contradictory to the loud-mouthed words the U.S. is letting out to disguise itself as willing to solve peacefully the nuclear issue between it and the DPRK. Commenting on this, a news analyst of Rodong Sinmun today says:
    We cannot but take a serious view of the remarks, considering they were uttered by an official figure speaking for the intention and stand of the U.S.
    Dragging into light of day the real meaning of the "landmark proposal" laid by the U.S. before the 3rd round of the six-party talks, the analyst says:
    It is only too clear why the U.S. is persistently sticking to its robber-like demand for the DPRK to drop its nuclear program first, failing to show an affirmative response to the latter's proposal which indicates the only way to solve the nuclear issue by stages. The reality makes it clear that it has not given up its scheme to mount a preemptive attack on the DPRK and there is no change at all in its policy to stifle the latter over the nuclear issue.
    It will be mistaken if the U.S. thinks the "Libyan-style" solution to the nuclear issue will work on the DPRK. It is becoming all the clearer that the U.S. is going to stifle the DPRK with strength at any cost, not giving up its hostile policy toward the latter. Such being the situation, it is only too natural for the Korean People's Army and people to fully prepare themselves to counter that. They have no alternative but to continue increasing their physical deterrent force needed for self-defense.
    The U.S. should stop its anachronistic hostile moves to stifle the DPRK, awakening from its foolish daydream.
