U.S. Threat of Preemptive Attack on DPRK Assailed

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, October 4 (KCNA) -- U.S. President Bush, speaking recently at the 59th session of the UN General Assembly, vociferated about the validity of the U.S. aggression on Iraq, contending that it helped liberate the Iraqi people from a dictator. He went to the lengths of stating without hesitation that the U.S. would have attacked Iraq even if it had known that the latter had no weapons of mass destruction. Commenting on this a Rodong Sinmun analyst Monday brands his remarks as outcries of a fascist tyrant steeped in war, murder and plunder, which revealed strong-arm and arbitrary practices and unilateralism utterly ignoring the UN Charter and international law.
    The news analyst goes on:
    As the world public recognizes, the Iraqi war unleashed by the U.S. was a war of injustice marred by criminal massacre of Iraqis and worst abuses of their human rights.
    Extreme social confusion and disorder, never ceasing vicious cycle of terrorism and retaliation, tragedies of bloodshed everywhere, growing unemployment and economic stagnancy--this is the reality of Iraq "liberated from the dictator" claimed by Bush.
    His rigmarole about "liberation" and "help" is an insult to the Iraqi people, a challenge to international law and a reversed logic of a murderous robber. His outpouring that the U.S. would have attacked Iraq even though it had known that the latter had no weapons of mass destruction glaringly revealed the aggressive and predatory nature of the United States.
    The U.S. which has got more arrogant through its aggression on Iraq is intensifying its military moves around the Korean peninsula, directing the sharp edge of its preemptive strike to the DPRK. The situation is becoming more complicated and the danger of war is growing at the moment when the next round of the six-party talks ended abortive owing to the U.S. The U.S. threat of preemptive attack on the DPRK is being carried into reality.
    This reality leaves the DPRK no alternative but to increase its war deterrent in every possible way with high revolutionary vigilance. No one can tell when the U.S. imperialists would make a preemptive attack on the DPRK as they regard it as a key to the implementation of their strategy of aggression on Asia to stifle the DPRK.
    But the U.S. should face things squarely. A preemptive attack is not its monopoly.
    If it dare fire first, not seeing who is its adversary, it will have to pay dearly for it. shatter the U.S. reckless provocations.
