KCNA Ridicules U.S. Senator's Foolish Behavior

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

   Pyongyang, December 19 (KCNA) -- U.S. Senator Brownback was recently reported to have presented to the Administration a bill urging it to put a brake on the process to implement the DPRK-U.S. agreement.
    In the bill he was adamant in insisting that the U.S. should not delist the DPRK as a "sponsor of terrorism" and lift the application of the "Trading with the Enemy Act," the commitments to be fulfilled by the U.S. under the agreement between the DPRK and the U.S.
    This is ridiculous, indeed.
    Brownback is a diehard anti-communist element as he took the lead in fabricating the "North Korean Human Rights Act" based on sheer lies in 2004.
    He collected a huge amount of fund on the strength of the act but as it turned out to be futile and infeasible, he was not in a position to make an effective use of the fund only to be jeered and censured by the international community. This is well known a fact.
    This guy again busied himself with the presentation of the bill, as if he had nothing else to do, a foolish bid to stop the administration from lifting sanctions against the DPRK.
    He seems not to know what the DPRK-U.S. agreement means and what the U.S. strategic interests are.
    Irony is that such political imbecile as Mr. Brownback claims to be a senator although he does not know even where he stands. It is not hard to guess what the level of the U.S. politics is.
    Explicitly speaking, the DPRK has remained unfazed despite the anti-DPRK sanctions applied by the U.S. for several decades.
    The U.S. lifting of the sanctions is, therefore, not what the DPRK has craved for. There would be no change for it whether the U.S. persisted in the sanctions against it or not.
    Such conservative hardliners as Brownback calculate they can throw a hurdle in the way of the process of the six-party talks and the DPRK-U.S. relations through such "sanctions". Nothing is, however, more foolish than this.
    With no desperate effort can the U.S. conservative hardliners stem the trend of the times towards detente over the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula.
