U.S.-Fabricated DPRK Uranium Enrichment Program Refuted

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, October 2 (KCNA) -- There is public opinion in the United States that its talk about the "DPRK uranium enrichment program" is a sheer lie deliberately invented by the Bush administration. In this regard, Rodong Sinmun Saturday in a signed commentary dismisses the U.S. assertion as an entirely groundless fabrication, as claimed by the American public. The commentary says:
    If the U.S. truly hopes for a peaceful solution to the nuclear issue it should withdraw its wrong assertion about the DPRK's "uranium enrichment program" and approach the negotiations with a sincere attitude.
    The DPRK's relations with various countries expanded as the days go by in the new century, driving the U.S. attempt to isolate and stifle the DPRK into total failure. Much upset by this, the U.S. sought a new pretext for keeping the Korean peninsula unstable in the nuclear issue, the issue of "enriched uranium."
    After fabricating the story about the above-said program, the Bush group worked hard to get even a nuclear expert of a third country involved in the issue in a bid to make it sound plausible. After all, they cited the non-existent DPRK "uranium program" to charge it with nuclear development and pressured other countries to regard its settlement as a precondition for improving relations with the DPRK.
    The U.S. knows well that the DPRK does not admit this "uranium program."
    Yet, the U.S. is dramatizing it in a bid to isolate the DPRK internationally, disarm and stifle it come what may. This is what the U.S. is really seeking in the nuclear issue.
    The U.S. is sadly mistaken if it thinks it can browbeat the DPRK with the assertion about the fictitious "uranium enrichment program."
