Dissolution of S. Korea-U.S. "Combined Forces Command" Urged

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

   Pyongyang, November 7 (KCNA) -- The United States invented the south Korea-U.S. "Combined Forces Command", a military tool for aggression, on Nov. 7, Juche 67 (1978), in a bid to perpetuate its military occupation of south Korea and realize its wild ambition for aggression on the DPRK.
    Newspapers here today carry signed articles in this regard.
    Rodong Sinmun says in an article that in south Korea the "command" has so far worked out war scenarios for aggression on the DPRK and supervised all the military exercises and arms buildup to carry them into practice.
    It also backed the pro-American fascist dictatorial regimes by force of arms while commanding behind the scene the military suppression of the south Korean people's massive struggle for democracy against dictatorship, the article notes, and goes on:
    That is why the people from all walks of life in south Korea have strongly demanded the dissolution of the criminal "command" from long ago.
    Seized with uneasiness at the increasing desire of the south Korean people for independence against the U.S. and for peace against war, the U.S. is resorting to more cunning tricks to keep its military occupation and domination over south Korea. It seeks to nominally disorganize the "command" through the transfer of the "right to command wartime operations" and, instead, use other military mechanism more powerful than it.
    The U.S. still remains unchanged in its intention to perpetuate its military presence in south Korea and realize its design for domination over the whole of Korea. This is proved by the fact that the U.S. is working hard to maintain and reinforce the "UN Command" in south Korea.
    After all, there will be no change even if the "Combined Forces Command" is dissolved through the transfer of the "right to command wartime operations." The "Combined Forces Command" and the "UN Command" are different in name, but much the same in intrinsic nature as they serve as a criminal military tool for occupation, domination, aggression and war.
    Minju Joson says that either dissolution of the "command" or transfer of the "right" will be nothing but a gimcrack as long as the U.S. forces remain in south Korea. The U.S. should take immediate measures to pull back its forces, not resorting to palpable deceptive tricks, it stresses.
