S. Korea-U.S. "Combined Forces Command" Should Be Dismantled: Rodong Sinmun
Pyongyang, November 8 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Wednesday carries an article on the lapse of 39 years since the emergence of the south Korea-U.S. "combined forces command", a source of disaster suffered by the nation.

Noting that the U.S. cooked up the "combined forces command" with the puppets on November 7, 1978 to legitimate its permanent military presence in south Korea and realize its ambition for invading the DPRK, the article says:

At that time the puppet ruling quarters zealously joined in cooking up the "command" with the U.S. What they sought in this was to leave south Korea as a U.S. military base forever and actively follow their master's war policy against the DPRK so as to keep their stay in power and stifle fellow countrymen by force of arms.

With the emergence of the ill-famed "combined forces command", the U.S. imperialist aggressors have run amuck in the moves to ignite a war against the DPRK while lording it over south Korea and the people could not but suffer great misfortune and pains with their dignity and sovereignty mercilessly trampled underfoot.

The "command" is a source that brings war disaster to not only the south Korean people but also the Korean nation as it is a criminal war mechanism for further escalating the war moves against the DPRK allegedly to counter "provocation and threat from the north".

The south Korean people should strive to retake their usurped dignity and sovereignty and open up the road of peace and reunification by dismantling the "combined forces command", root cause of aggression and war, and driving out the U.S. imperialist aggressors.
