U.S. Denounced for Scrapping DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, May 24 (KCNA) -- The United States is nowadays reversing black and white by alleging that the DPRK foiled the implementation of the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework, while escalating the moves to isolate and stifle the latter by distorted assertions and deceptive rumors over the nuclear issue. The allegation of State Secretary Rice and other high-ranking officials of the U.S. is the height of shamelessness of those attempting to shift on to the DPRK the responsibility of the U.S. for scrapping the AF and driving the DPRK-U.S. relations and the nuclear issue to the worst phase and force its aggressive policy toward the DPRK, says a news analyst of Rodong Sinmun Tuesday.
    He goes on:
    After the adoption of the AF the DPRK fulfilled its obligation one hundred percent, freezing all its nuclear activities and fully ensuring the surveillance of the inspectors of the IAEA. The U.S., however, did not properly implement any provision of the AF, resorting to go-slow tactics.
    And, in particular, it did not promote on schedule the construction of light-water reactors, the core provision of the AF.
    The U.S. maneuvers to tear up the AF reached their apex after the emergence of the Bush administration. In the end, the AF went up in smoke and the DPRK-U.S. relations got to the worst phase.
    Under the grave situation in which the Bush administration openly declared a preemptive nuclear attack on the DPRK and madly sped up preparations for a nuclear war aimed at the "overthrow" of its system, the DPRK was compelled to take a self-defensive measure for getting access to nuclear weapons. The nuclear weapons of the DPRK are a shield for defending the sovereignty of the country and a reliable deterrent for preventing a war and ensuring peace on the Korean Peninsula.
    If it failed to build the nuclear deterrent, it would have already been swallowed up by the U.S. It is none other than the U.S. which has driven the DPRK to the possession of nuclear weapons. The U.S. can by no means deny this and can never shake off the blame for this.
    As the fair public opinion holds, the U.S. is the very one which reduced the AF to a dead letter.
    The U.S. should ponder over the matter with a cool head and discard its despicable intention to draw water to its mill by shifting on to the DPRK the blame for scuttling the AF.
