N Korea vows to bolster ‘war deterrence’
2008-01-04
This one isn't bad, nice spittle and a fine finish. 6/10.
SEOUL - North Korea, which missed a year’s end deadline to declare its nuclear programmes, vowed Friday to build its ‘war deterrence,’ accusing the United States of stepping up preparations for an attack.

Rodong Sinmun, the mouthpiece of the North’s ruling Korean Workers’ Party, also denounced as a trick a US statement last month that it was accelerating the scrapping of its own nuclear weapons stockpile. 'The DPRK (North Korea) people, seeing through to the criminal nature of US imperialists, has already been building up their defence capability,’ it said in a commentary. ‘To cope with the mounting US nuclear war manoeuvres, the DPRK will further strengthen its own war deterrence.’

It said the US announcement on scrapping its own weapons was nothing but a ‘trick’ to fool the rest of the world. ‘The criminal ploy led by US war mongers, who are bringing the world to the brink of a nuclear war by driving for the development and production of new atomic weapons, has not changed at all.’
Dang, nothing gets past them.
