Timed to coincide with this, the chief of the Staff of the U.S. Army blustered that in case a war breaks out on the Korean Peninsula, the U.S. is also ready to participate in it and that in case of the war against the DPRK it will not involve a traditional way of fighting. Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Perry also asserted that a military option against the DPRK should be examined while the director for Missile Defense Agency of the U.S. Department of Defense uttered that interceptor missiles of the U.S. deployed on the ground are enough to cope with the "missile threat" from the DPRK.

Rodong Sinmun Tuesday observes in a signed commentary in this regard:

This is a grave military provocation to the DPRK and an extremely dangerous criminal act of bringing the second Korean war.

At a time when unpredictably tense situation is prevailing on the Korean Peninsula, the U.S. would be well advised to think twice about whether its anti-DPRK military hysteria is favorable to it or not.

The U.S. will suffer an irretrievable setback if it keeps going reckless, depending on the large armed forces for aggression and nukes in south Korea and in its vicinity and F-22 Stealth fighters deployed in Japan and other hardware.

It is the revolutionary spirit of the army and people of the DPRK and the mode of counter-action for self-defence to decisively wipe out the aggressors, reacting to the enemy's high-handed acts with the toughest measures and its preemptive attack with the advanced preemptive strikes of Korean style.

The U.S. imperialists had better give up the war gambling as it would only invite their self-destruction.
