KCNA blasts U.S. decision to send carrier to S. Korea
The U.S. reportedly announced that it would soon dispatch its carrier Carl Vinson, now operating in the west pacific, to a South Korean port. The U.S. plan to send this super-class carrier dubbed "Golden Eagle" to South Korea to let it play a major role in the Foal Eagle joint military exercise betrays its operational intention to carry out the biggest-ever joint military exercise targeted against the DPRK.Yes, Kimmie. The big toys aren't all in the Persian Gulf. We have some for you to deal with too. The U.S. and South Korean warhawks have ceaselessly staged north-targeted saber-rattling.But it is the first time for them to mobilize troops and operational means huge enough to wage a war and use all parts of South Korea as theatres for month-long war exercises to be staged in the sky and seas and on land. There is the growing danger of the U.S.-led exercises as the "Foal Eagle" joint military exercise, an annual event since 1961, is combined with Rsoi which has been staged since 1994. The U.S. claims that the exercises are annual events which have nothing to do with the "nuclear issue" of the DPRK. But this is nothing but a broad hoax to mislead the public opinion and cover up its sinister military purpose. So they admit that these are annual events, then deny these are annual events. All in one paragraph. It's that inimitable KCNA logic. As the U.S. campaign to internationalize the DPRK's "nuclear issue" and force it to scrap its "nuclear weapons program before dialogue" proved futile, the U.S. launched the large-scale war exercises in a bid to attain its strategic goal of militarily pressurizing and threatening it, while watching for a chance to mount a preemptive attack on the nuclear facilities in the DPRK. This is clearly evidenced by recent war outbursts made by U.S. President Bush that it would take a "military option" in case its diplomatic efforts to settle the DPRK's "nuclear issue" fail. The "Foal Eagle" joint military exercise is at its height with the carrier, to be involved in it, rendering the situation on the Korean Peninsula so tense that a nuclear war may break out any moment. The DPRK has consistently urged the U.S. to conclude a non-aggression treaty with it to cope with such disturbing development. But the U.S. turned down it and openly disclosed its intention to launch a war against the DPRK. This compels the people and the army of the DPRK to keep themselves fully ready to go into action. When was this intention to go to war against the peace loving DPRK announced? I missed that. If we take it before the UN, it could be years before it happens. The U.S. should not boast its military muscle. The DPRK has self-defensive national defence capacity powerful enough to beat back any formidable enemy at a single stroke. The U.S. is well advised not to run amuck, clearly understanding the DPRK's self-defensive power and single-hearted unity of its people. Oh-oh. We're running amuck again...
