KCNA Comments on "Ulji Focus Lens"
2006-08-30
Pyongyang, August 29 (KCNA) -- The U.S.-south Korea "Ulji Focus Lens" joint military exercises against the DPRK are now getting frantic. The large-scale joint military exercises targeting the DPRK at a time when the political and military situation of the Korean Peninsula has become extremely strained and complicated are a prelude to the second Korean war to be launched by the U.S. according to its nuclear preemptive attack strategy. Now the confrontation between the DPRK and the United States has gone to extremes owing to the U.S. moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK and, accordingly, it is more important than ever before to ease the tension and ensure peace in and around the Korean Peninsula.

It is nonsensical for the U.S. to claim that the joint military exercises getting on the nerves of the DPRK are "annual military exercises".
"I mean, just because they hold them every year...."
This clearly proves that the U.S. has no willingness to remove the standoff with the DPRK.
Nope, we're just going to sit over here, eating our Big Macs, watching you starve to death.
The exercises are an undisguised military threat to the DPRK and a dangerous war move as they were prompted by the U.S. adventurous attempt to lead the DPRK-U.S. confrontation to a war.

The U.S. is now stepping up the reinforcement and relocation of its troops in south Korea under the pretext of "strategic flexibility" and modified its operation plan against the north on the basis of its preemptive attack strategy. The "Ulji Focus Lens" is also a preliminary war to perfect the combat command and operation system of the armed forces of aggression and complete the preparations for a war on the basis of the U.S. new military policy against the DPRK.
Hummmm, yes
The U.S. is asserting that the "exercises are aimed to help the U.S. forces and the south Korean army get familiar with the procedures of cooperation in case of emergency on the Korean Peninsula." What they called "emergency on the Korean Peninsula" means the second Korean war. The exercises simulate an actual war.
By George, I think he's got it!
During the past military exercises, too, the U.S. and south Korean warmongers conducted different forms of military drills from "exercises of commanding staff" for a preemptive attack on the DPRK to "landing operations," "naval offensive operations," "surprise air strike exercises," "river-crossing operations" and even "biological and chemical warfare drills" with weapons of mass destruction under the simulated conditions of an actual war. Its alleged annual military exercises show that the U.S. is steadily increasing, training and perfecting its capability to wage an actual war against the north according to its operation plan for invasion of the north.
You should think about that before you go firing off any more missiles
All the facts clearly prove that the joint military exercises are a dangerous preliminary war, a nuclear test war for surprise invasion of the north. The U.S. can never evade the responsibility for aggravating tension and harassing peace in the Korean Peninsula.

#12  The NorKor Commies proclaimed to be fighting for pan-Korean liberation from Japan, "foreign white devils", and China. Their usefulness to the Chicoms is to die for China while holding off South Korea, Japan, and the USA-UN Command whilst the PLA moves against Taiwan-SE Asia-WESTPAC andor attacks Northern Japan from Siberia, i.e. where US-Allied milfors are NOT. The Norkies = Lebanese = Syrian, etal have to decide what their people are, and what kind of freeedoms and future they want by and for themselves. 'Cuz right now, the enemy of the USA = Israel is NOT for them - any destruction of the USA = Israel does NOT mean they "win".

#10  This is really tame and lame compared to the KCNA I used to know and love. I really miss the "sea of fire" and splittle-spewing rhetoric of old.

Things just haven't been the same ever since Ahmadinejad hired away Baghdad Bob from Kimmie.

#9  Ulji Focus Lens or "UFL" as it is know in the states is an abbreviation for some Korean words. The "U" is the last name of some famous Korean warrior and I don't remember about the rest. I thought it was pretty gay the first time I heard it too....

#8  "Operation Eagle" -- that works.
"Operation Foal" -- passable.
"Operation RSOI/Foal Eagle" -- too clunky.
"Operation Steamroller" -- now you're talkin!

#7  Why does this just seem so hysterical. I know they are dead serious but there are comics who pay for writers to produce stuff like this.

#6  So, I take it you're not a fan of RSOI/Foal Eagle, then?

#5  "Ulji Focus Lens?" Who comes up with these codenames? I mean, come on! Think of the classic code names: "Overlord," "Dragoon," "Husky," "Olympic," "Torch," "Avalanche." They all have that bold, decisive quality to them. "Ulji Focus Lens" -- sounds like a cheapass third-party accessory for that no-name Pentax-thread 35mm camera you got in the duty-free shop in Ulaan Bator.

#1  Steve,

In their defense, August is the usual vacation month in the DPRK, where everywhere leaves the city, heads out to the country, and collects all the grass clippings and bark shavings they can find for the upcoming winter.
