U.S. Accused of Harassing Peace and Stability in Region

KCNA

    Pyongyang, December 10 (KCNA) -- As already reported, U.S. President Bush made a clandestine trip to Iraq on the evening of November 27. He was landed at Baghdad Airport under a strict cordon, "learnt" about the situation of Iraq and encouraged U.S. troops. He then hurriedly left for the Untied States after two hours and half in Iraq. Earlier, on November 13, Bush summoned U.S. Administrator in Iraq Bremer to Washington, convened an emergency security meeting of high-ranking officials and discussed setting up a pro-U.S. government in Iraq as early as possible.
    Through the trip to Iraq, Bush apparently sought to improve his image as a "brave president" who visited a battlefield, but facts indicate that U.S. Iraq policy is going to rack and ruin.
    The Bush administration had insisted on power in Iraq seized by the U.S. and British forces, turning down the demand of the international community including the UN Security Council for handover of power to Iraq. In other words, its intention was to set up a pro-U.S. government and monopolize the oil concessions while leaving the security of Iraq under the jurisdiction of the United Nations.
    But the Iraqi situation has turned back to the phase of war and U.S. casualties have increased with Iraqis' resistance getting fierce. So the Bush administration could not but rewrite the Iraq policy.
    As of the end of November, the number of the U.S. troops killed and wounded in Iraq and evacuated from the country has reached almost 10,000. The mental disease, suicide and desertion among U.S. troops, caused by constant horror and uneasiness, have also harassed the Bush administration.
    Now the Iraqi resistance forces' attacks, which had been conducted for revenge sporadically, have become systematized with a clear-cut goal of repulsing the aggression forces.
    Such being a situation, UN affiliates and diplomats of many countries have left Iraq and the nations which had agreed to send troops to Iraq are now withdrawing their promise.
    At the beginning such countries as Russia, France and Germany declared they would not dispatch troops to Iraq and Pakistan, pressurized by the United States to make a military contribution, has refused to accept the U.S. demand.
    Turkey and other nations have rescinded their troop dispatch plan although the United States promised to offer economic aids to them, while Thailand and other countries which already sent troops to Iraq are talking about the withdrawal of their troops.
    The facts have put the Bush administration in hot water.
    Even the CIA worked out a secret report on November 10, warning that the number of those who are convinced of the defeat of the U.S. and British forces is ever increasing.
    The Bush administration's shipwrecked Iraq policy is an inevitable result for the aggressors.
