U.S. Pressure for Additional Troop Dispatch to Iraq Rebuffed

KCNA

    Pyongyang, November 15 (KCNA) -- The additional troop dispatch to Iraq is not in the interests of south Korea but is aimed to help the U.S. achieve its strategic purpose, says Minju Joson today a signed commentary. It continues:
    The issue now sparking a great furor in south Korea surfaced entirely due to the U.S. unilateral demand and pressure. It is against the will of the south Korean people or authorities.
    By hurling south Korean troops into Iraq as bullet shields in a proxy war of aggression the U.S. seeks to realize its brigandish ambition for aggression with ease while minimizing the loss and damage to the U.S.
    The lives of young Koreans can never be risked to meet the strategic interests of the U.S., the commentary says, contending that the national dignity and interests and the lives of the nation's beloved sons entirely hinge on the south Koreans' struggle against the U.S. pressure for additional troop dispatch.
