U.S. Urged to End Its Military Presence in Iraq

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

    Pyongyang, November 20 (KCNA) -- If the U.S. imperialists continue to pursue their policy of military occupation and rule over Iraq, defying the demand of the Iraqi people and the mind-set of the world public, they will meet only bitter shame and miserable death. Rodong Sinmun Sunday warns this in a signed article as regards the daily increasing death toll of the U.S. forces in Iraq.
    Recalling that the death toll of the U.S. forces in Iraq reached 2,020 and the number of those wounded 14,500 as of Oct. 31 and their casualties have further increased recently, the article says:
    For this reason, the Bush administration is working hard to justify and perpetuate the U.S. military occupation and rule over Iraq, trumpeting that the U.S. is fighting in Iraq for a "free world" and urging the "brave U.S. soldiers" to fight for the sake of the "honor" of the U.S. But such behavior of the Bush administration has only driven the U.S. soldiers in Iraq into a bottomless dilemma.
    It is beyond doubt that any U.S. measure to tighten its military occupation and rule over Iraq would only touch off stronger resistance of Iraqis against it. Only disgrace and death await the aggressors. History has no precedent in which aggressors escaped their defeat. The U.S. is keen to establish the American-style domination and order in the world and act an emperor, going against the trend of the times. This is, however, as foolish an act as digging its own grave.
