U.S. Escalated Moves for War against DPRK Assailed

    Pyongyang, April 27 (KCNA) -- Ultra-modern war hardware is being more massively deployed on the Korean Peninsula than before the six-party talks aimed at denuclearization and stability were under way and, consequently, the situation on the peninsula is inching closer to the brink of war due to the U.S. reckless war moves, says Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in a signed article. It goes on:
    The U.S. chilled the atmosphere of the six-party talks by slandering the DPRK as an "outpost of tyranny" early this year. It has recently staged war exercises against the DPRK, creating the situation on the peninsula on the eve of war. It has been recently disclosed that the U.S. deployed scores of latest ground-to-ground missile of new type at the Second Division of the U.S. forces in south Korea, stirring up a furor.
    The U.S. recent introduction into south Korea of ultra-modern war hardware once again clearly indicates that it does not want a peaceful solution to the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. but only seeks to stifle it by force of arms.
    It is said that the U.S. shipped these missiles into south Korea before any other places after testing their destructive power in the war of aggression against Iraq. It is not the first time that the U.S. introduced such war hardware whose performance was tested in real wars.
    The U.S. moves for massive arms build-up give the lie to its loudmouthed "peaceful solution" to the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. and clearly indicate that it is getting all the more undisguised in its aggressive design to stifle the DPRK by force of arms.
    The U.S. shipped the new type missiles into south Korea last year when the six-party talks were deadlocked due to the U.S. high-handed and self-opinionated attitude and the second-term of the Bush administration was decided. At that time the U.S. authorities made a "gesture" to create the impression that its hard-line toward the DPRK was likely to change but, in actuality, introduced latest war hardware into south Korea, challenging the international community desirous of a positive settlement of the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. This proves that the second-term Bush administration's Korea policy had been oriented toward the hard-line policy aimed at stifling the DPRK already at that time.
    What the U.S. really seeks is to stifle the DPRK through confrontation and war, not to coexist with it in peace or settle the nuclear issue diplomatically. Proof of this is the ever-more pronounced ambition of the Bush bellicose group to stifle the DPRK by force of arms.
    The situation urgently requires the DPRK to bolster the deterrent force for self-defence for peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and all the Koreans in the north, the south and overseas to strengthen the three forms of cooperation to foil the U.S. ambition to stifle the DPRK with nukes.
