KCNA Denounces S. Korea for Offering Land for US Military Bases

Pyongyang, April 12 (KCNA) -- The ruling quarters of south Korea continue committing such treachery as offering land for U.S. military bases. Even at this hour dozens of bulldozers and heavy duty lorries sent by the group of traitors are busy removing earth in the area of Phyongthaek for the construction of a U.S. military base. The construction of the Phyongthaek military base expected to be completed by 2015 covers 4.44 million phyong (one phyong equals six square feet) or nearly 80 times the area of Tok Islets. It would be the largest of the U.S. military bases overseas. There will be the U.S. 8th Army Command, barracks, garages, a mobile drill ground, firing range, lodging quarters and even a golf course and other amusement and entertainment facilities. The south Korean authorities' offer of the fertile land of the nation to the aggressors is sycophancy and treachery putting the crimes committed by the five traitors of 1905 into the shade. The U.S. military bases in the areas north of the River Han are being moved to areas south of it at a time when U.S. military bases are now being transferred to other areas or new ones are under construction in south Korea. The Phyongthaek U.S. military base under construction will house U.S. imperialist forces present in the Ryongsan base in Seoul, Tongduchon and Uijongbu. These moves are aimed to carry out the U.S. sinister scenario to save its personnel from the merciless strikes of the Korean People's Army and use the south Korean troops as human shields and cannon fodder in case a war breaks out on the Korean Peninsula. Nevertheless, the south Korean ruling quarters are taking the lead in the transfer and expansion of the U.S. military base, even offering a huge amount of fund collected from the south Korean people as taxes. This cannot but be shame on the nation as it is as deplorable an act as playing into the U.S. crafty method to spark a fratricidal war. The land of Korea is left waste and the danger of war is daily increasing owing to the U.S. military bases in different parts of south Korea. The south Korean authorities will never shake off their disgrace as traitors as long as they persist in offering the land handed over by the ancestors as U.S. military bases. |
