Korea
U.S. massive arms buildup under fire
2003-02-13
Nothing yet on the UN sanctions or the fact that they've got ICBMs. Must be storing it up for a rabid rant tomorrow.
Pyongyang, February 12 (KCNA) -- The U.S. air force present in South Korea was put in a "semi-war" state to cope with "contingency" and the U.S. command in South Korea issued a decision to extend for six months the stay of thousands of soldiers in South Korea even after the expiry of their service term against the backdrop of the deployment of more aggression forces in and around the Korean Peninsula. Rodong Sinmun today carries a signed commentary in this regard.
Quick! Send more "agression forces"!
It says:
This clearly proves that the U.S. imperialists' moves to provoke a new Korean war have entered a dangerous phase.
The U.S. is making absurd pretexts to justify its military moves.
Pay no attention to those nuclear tipped ICBM's behind the curtain.
It is all the more ridiculous for the U.S. to try to create the impression that its massive arms buildup has nothing to do with the "nuclear issue" of the DPRK.
It's got everything to do with it.Who says it didn't?
The peaceful solution to the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula and arms buildup can never go together.
It was the U.S. calculation that it could attain its criminal goal with ease by spawning and internationalizing the "nuclear issue" of the DPRK. It even worked out a plan to use force in case its original plan fails and has pushed forward it.
The U.S. is turning to the use of force, its second option, now that its plan to put political and diplomatic pressure on the DPRK is bound to go busted.
Bound to go busted? Wasn't that a Willie Nelson album?
The army and the people of the DPRK will never show any mercy to those who dare invade their country. The U.S. should stop running amuck just like a puppy knowing no fear of the tiger.
The last line a KCNA classic. Right outta "Kung Fu".

#2  I think the only military that could take down Daffy without harming Seoul belongs to China. Most recent information I've got says they have approximately 550,000 troops deployed close to the NKor border. It's not that far from the Yalu to Pyongyang, especially with 70% of the NKor army "forward deployed" to the south and low on fuel.

#1  Talk tough now, DPRK. We'll see how tough you are when the food aid and oil stops flowing, your missile shipments are mysteriously sunken outside your ports, and the Japanese and our aircraft carriers start moving in your general direction. If Seoul wasn't 35 miles from the border, you'd already be toast.
