Withdrawal of U.S. troops urged

Pyongyang, October 30 (KCNA) -- Papers here today denounce U.S.
President Bush for clamouring for permanent presence of the U.S.
troops in South Korea and "strengthened security alliance" at a press
conference some time ago. Rodong Sinmun in a signed commentary titled
"powder-reeking outburst" says:

Bush's remarks compel the DPRK to keep a sharp vigilance against the
U.S.

The U.S. troops stationed in South Korea are the stumbling-block to
the reunification of Korea and a detached force for aggression on
Korea.

His clamour for the permanent presence of the U.S. troops in South
Korea is a clear expression of the U.S. policy of aggression against
the DPRK, the policy aimed at stifling it by force of arms at any
cost.

The U.S. troops' occupation of South Korea can never be permitted in
light of the trend of the times and the desire of the Korean people
for the independent reunification of Korea.

The U.S. bid to strengthen the "security alliance" with South Korea
is aiming at gaining military edge over the DPRK and stifling it by
force of arms.

The U.S. is working hard to maintain its hegemonic position in the
Asia-Pacific region by strengthening its military presence in South
Korea and its policy of aggression against Korea.

The Korean peninsula can never be a theatre for the U.S. hegemony.

The U.S. persistent hostile policy toward the DPRK, designed to make
the Korean peninsula a military springboard for continental
aggression and a bargaining chip for its hegemony, arouses deep-felt
resentment of the Korean people. The Korean people are fully ready to
cope with possible military challenge of the U.S.

The U.S. is openly talking about the possibility to extend its
military operations in Afghanistan to other countries, while
resorting to ill-boding moves pulling up the DPRK.

It is our will and independent mode of counteraction to respond to
the U.S. hard line with a super hard line.

Minju Joson in a commentary titled "decision to withdraw U.S. troops
should be made" says that the U.S. should not seek its permanent
military presence in South Korea, but take a practical measure to
withdraw its troops from South Korea at an early date.
