Rodong Sinmun on U.S. Senate's Decision to Cut down Cost for Research of Smaller Nukes

     Pyongyang, October 13 (KCNA) -- The U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee decided to deduct a total amount of 4.5 million US dollars, expenses for the research of smaller nukes, from the appropriations for the fiscal year 2006, which has put a brake on the U.S. administration's moves for military expansion to complete the development of nuclear weapons of practical use for smashing anti-U.S. independent countries, says Rodong Sinmun Thursday in a signed commentary. The deduction of a total expense for the research of smaller nukes deals a heavy blow to the neo-conservative forces of the U.S. in their attempt to pressurize those countries incurring their displeasure with nuclear weapons, the commentary notes.
    Bringing to light the reason why the U.S. Senate had no choice but to make such a decision, the commentary goes on:
    The military expenditure of the U.S. dreaming of world domination has snowballed in recent years close to 500 billion US dollars. This is a record high in the U.S. history. It is, therefore, as clear as noonday that the U.S. is not in a position to squander a large amount of money for the research of smaller nukes given that anti-war spirit is mounting within the U.S. day by day and the public is growing suspicious about the U.S. occupation of Iraq. The decision is also related to the big chaos caused by increased damage by hurricane that swept the country in late August.
    As a result, the U.S. administration was compelled to stop developing the nukes because it found itself in a deplorable plight due to the tremendous expenses for Iraqi war and damage by hurricane Katrina. The U.S. bellicose forces were hit hard by it and have become limp. The recent U.S. Senate decision shows that the U.S. warlike forces' moves for a nuclear war cannot go ahead as they intend. But the U.S. ambition for nuclear weapons will remain unchanged.

Consecuencia de la politica de aumento armamentista

    @Pyongyang, 13 de octubre (ATCC) -- Recientemente, el Comite de Apropiacion del Senado Norteamericano (CASN) decidio tachar la suma total de 4 millones 500 mil US$ para el estudio de mini-artefacto nuclear en el renglon de desembolso anual de 2006, lo que crea obstaculo para la ejecucion de la politica de aumento armamentista de la administracion norteamericana a fin de completar el desarrollo de "armas nucleares efectivas" contra los paises soberanos y antiyanquis. Esta decision constituye un gran golpe a las fuerzas neoconservadoras de EE.UU.
    @Asi senala el diario Rodong Sinmun en un comentario individual del dia 13 y continua:
    En los ultimos anos los gastos militares de EE.UU. para la hegemonia mundial llegan a 500 mil millones de US$ marcando un record en la historia de EE.UU. Dado que dentro de este pais se eleva la tendencia anti-belica y se aumenta la censura a la ocupacion sobre Iraq, el imperio no esta en condiciones de volver a destinar enormes fondos a la investigacion de mini-artefacto nuclear.
    La presente decision del CASN se debe ademas al gran caos que se crea por el continuo aumento de danos por el ciclon que azoto a finales de agosto a EE.UU.
    En fin, la administracion norteamericana se ve obligada a renunciar el desarrollo de mini-artefacto nuclear por los enormes gastos belicos en Iraq y el apuro en que halla por el siniestro desastre natural arriba mencionado, lo cual constituyo un duro golpe a las fuerzas belicosas norteamericanas. El hecho demuestra que las maniobras de guerra nuclear de los belicistas yanquis jamas pueden salirse con la suya. Pero, la ambicion nuclear de EE.UU. seguira invariable.
