Reckless Remarks of Commander of U.S. Forces in S. Korea under Fire

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

   Pyongyang, January 29 (KCNA) -- Some days ago, the commander of the U.S. imperialist aggression troops in south Korea stressed the need to keep the "UN Command" even in peacetime to cope with the wartime, asserting that the role of the "UN Commander" should not be weakened even after the disbandment of the U.S.-south Korea "combined forces command" in the wake of the transfer of the "right to control wartime operation." In this regard, Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary terms his outcry reckless remarks betraying the U.S. bellicose forces' design to perpetuate the U.S. forces' presence in south Korea and invade the DPRK.
    The commentary goes on:
    The U.S. imperialists are asserting that it is necessary to keep the "UN Command" even after the disbandment of the U.S.-south Korea "combined forces command," talking about the "vacuum in the military command system." This is prompted by their sinister intention to perpetuate the presence of their forces in south Korea and invade the DPRK and, furthermore, continue abusing the name of UN for the purpose of maintaining their military hegemony in the Korean Peninsula and the rest of Northeast Asia.
    The U.S. imperialists' plan to transfer the "right to control wartime operation" to the south Korean army and disband the "combined forces command" does not mean that they are ready to terminate the U.S. forces' presence in south Korea and give up the right to command and control the south Korean army and their moves for a war against the DPRK.
    This is clearly evidenced by the remarks made by the commander of the U.S. forces in south Korea about the necessity to keep the "UN Command."
    All the facts patently prove that the U.S. bellicose forces are chiefly to blame for wrecking peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and bringing the dark clouds of a nuclear war to hang over it.
