KCNA Slashes at US-S. Korea Projected Joint Military Exercises
Pyongyang, August 4 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists and the south Korean group of traitors are mulling staging again provocative Ulji Freedom Guardian joint military exercises despite a strong warning served by the DPRK and the unanimous public condemnation at home and abroad.

Such projected saber-rattling is a reckless move as it openly reveals the scenario of the U.S. and south Korea to seize the DPRK by force of arms, and an extremely dangerous attempt to ignite a fresh war on the Korean Peninsula at any cost.

The U.S. and the rat-like Lee Myung Bak group claim that the projected war maneuvers are "annual drills" and "ones for examining the posture to cope with a local war to be provoked" by someone.

This is, however, nothing but brazen-faced sophism to conceal the aggressive nature of the saber-rattling and their true colors as war maniacs.

This is clearly evidenced by the involvement of huge forces and large quantities of war hardware in those madcap war drills to be staged across south Korea between August 20 and 31.

At least 500,000 troops including more than 30,000 U.S. forces and over 56,000 troops from various army corps, commands of fleet and flying corps of the puppet army were reported to participate in the drills. Improved nuclear strike means and latest type war hardware which had been introduced into south Korea under the "plan for bolstering combat capability" of the U.S. forces present there are expected to be involved in the exercises.

They are going to stage such reckless saber-rattling in the sky, ground and seas in a bid to increase the effect of medium and long-range precision strikes and surprise attacks on the strategic bases of the DPRK.

The south Korean puppet group adopted a preemptive strike at the DPRK as an orientation of its "military policy towards the north" in 2010. The above-said scenario is also clearly proved by the fact that the puppet group plans to carry out the projected drills according to the supplemented and rounded-off plans for a nuclear war exercises against the north.

The south Korea-U.S "Combined Forces Command" has already announced that Ulji Freedom Guardian this year would be "staged under a scenario of an actual war". This suffices to show the danger of the projected military drills.

Ulji Freedom Guardian is obviously drills for a war of aggression and an escalation of the adventurous nuclear war maneuvers against the DPRK.

The army and people of the DPRK will never pardon the U.S. and the rat-like Lee group escalating the provocations through madcap war drills, far from making apology for their attempted state-sponsored and politically-motivated hideous terrorism.

Invaders are fated to meet only death.
