| KCNA blasts U.S. decision to send carrier to S. Korea |
| 2003-03-13 |
| 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... |

| #8 jrosevear---I concede your point. I guess the $$ of hard earned taxpayer blood sweat and tears that have been spent have done something---shown that the UN does nothing. That may be a good investment in the end. It just is so weird when one tries to think about, ya know..... |

| #7 Alaska Paul sez: I wonder how many millions of $$ have been spent for nothing. We have proven that they [the UN] are useless. Proving to the American people -- or at least a substantial percentage of them -- that the UN is useless is far from "nothing". It's something that very much needed doing. Now to hope that Bush follows this to its logical conclusion. |

| #6 g wiz---Don't worry about Korea coming to the UN. I was only being facetious. I am as frustrated as you over this UN circus we have seen for 6 months. I wonder how many millions of $$ have been spent for nothing. We have proven that they are useless. I, in a, well, facetious way, was looking at a strategy of tying up NKor for 6 months while Iraq was being dealt with. I like how Bush gives the NKors a little bone to chew on while he moves the big sticks quietly about. No use inflaming the nutcases of the north while one gets ones ducks in line. |

| #4 Korea will NOT be on any UN agendas!! There is no way in hell the Bush administration gets all fucked up in their bullshit again! France will have to complain from the sidelines. |

| #3 Now that the UN is wrapping up Iraq after 6 months, we can get Korea on the agenda an jaw it to death while we work on Iraq. |

| #2 What exactly is a "Foal Eagle"? Operation Ingrown Toenail is more like it... |

| #1 Heh. Wait'll Nimitz just sorta stops in for a port call while ostensibly on its way to the Middle East. We'll see what Kimmie's "self-defensive national defence capability" makes of that. |
