U.S. Warlike Forces' Preparations for Preemptive Attack on DPRK Denounced

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

   Pyongyang, June 18 (KCNA) -- The U.S. stepped-up preparations to start a war of aggression against the DPRK with a preemptive attack on it come under fire by a signed commentary of Rodong Sinmun today. It cites U.S. warlike forces' plan to set up a new "forward combat commanding post" in south Korea under the pretext of the transfer of the U.S. 8th army command as a typical example of these moves. The projected setting up of the above-said commanding post proves that it is aimed at bolstering up the war capability of the U.S. forces in south Korea, the commentary observes, and goes on:
    In recent years the U.S. war-thirsty forces have equipped their forces in south Korea with modern weapons while reorganizing all their units and bolstered its naval and air forces in areas around the Korean Peninsula and Asia-Pacific. This was a forward-deployment of the U.S. forces according to the scenario for a preemptive attack and a move for rounding off the military preparations for the Korean war.
    Multi-faceted contacts and dialogues are now underway between the DPRK and the U.S. But the U.S. warlike forces are desperately trying to deteriorate the DPRK-U.S. relations at any cost and invent a pretext for igniting a war.
    By straining the situation on the Korean Peninsula they seek to perpetuate the U.S. forces' presence in south Korea. They are also watching for a chance to provoke the above-mentioned war and use the Korean Peninsula as a springboard from which to carry out their reactionary Asia strategy.
    It is precisely for this reason that they have deliberately pushed the situation on the Korean Peninsula to the pitch of tension while escalating the military threat to the DPRK.
    It is the criminal intention of the U.S. warlike forces to use physical means and realize without fail their ambition for invading the DPRK if their brigandish scenario veiled with the smokescreen of "peace" and "dialogue" does not work.
    But the U.S. double-dealing tactics will never work on the DPRK.
    The DPRK is prepared for both dialogue and confrontation. It is foolhardy for the U.S. warlike forces to pin any hope on the preemptive attack on the DPRK.
