U.S. Hit for Legalizing Overseas Dispatch of S. Korean Army
Pyongyang, November 1 (KCNA) -- The south Korean online paper Voice of People on Oct. 30 carried an editorial slamming the U.S. for trying to legalize the overseas dispatch of the south Korean army.

The editorial said that south Korea and the U.S. try to revise the "note on the crisis management of alliance" stipulating the guidelines of crisis management of the "combined forces command."

It said that the U.S. is pressurizing south Korea to add the phrase "contingency of the U.S." to the note.

It pointed out that if the note is revised, there will be a situation in which south Korean army should be sent to the disputed areas abroad based on the U.S. judgment.

Worse still, the U.S. can demand south Korea to take such a military action as a preemptive attack upon the north under the pretext of the "north's threat to the U.S.", the editorial stressed.
