N Korea says US poses nuclear threat
North Korea says six-party talks aimed at ending a stand-off over its nuclear program should be transformed into wider arms reduction talks, and look at the nuclear threat the United States poses to the Korean peninsula.

The statement issued through North Korea's official news agency said the six-party dialogue could only bear fruit if it sought ways to root out the threat that the United States poses.

In February the North Koreans acknowledged they had already produced nuclear weapons before withdrawing from the talks indefinitely.

Last week North Korean Premier Pak Pong-Ju held talks in Beijing with China's top leaders and reiterated his country was ready to resume negotiations on its nuclear programs, but only when conditions were right.

American Nukes in South Korea

US military planners have kept up nuclear attack plans even after the 1992 and 1994 denuclearization agreements and Jinhae may be the main US nuclear weapons depot.
Korea WebWeekly (Feb 28, 2003)

-- Gen. Richard Myers, the US Joint Chief of Staff, said yesterday in an NBC interview that, if President Bush and other command authorities decide to apply military forces to resolve special issues, the US forces are ready to implement flexible and effective forces. Gen. Myers added that North Korea is one of the targets for nuclear attacks. He said that the US maintains and updates all military options - including preemptive nuclear attacks - for North Korea.

Nicholas Kristof wrote in an article published by the New York Times today that the US military has drawn up a plan to attack North Korea's nuclear facilities. The plan includes cruise missiles and high altitude massive e nuclear bombing raids on North Korean guns hidden along the DMZ that threaten Seoul. The Bush administration plans to take actions against North Korea this summer if diplomatic means fail to resolve North Korea's nuclear crisis.

The United States has stationed special reconnaissance planes and submarines near Korea. The E6B planes and the missile chaser Invincible are equipped with wide area radars that can detect missile launches and nuclear tests. Placement of these assets and other military moves increase the potential for a war in Korea. The US military has never abandoned its plan for nuclear attacks on North Korea even after the denuclearization agreements signed in 1992 and 1994 with North Korea..

MORE - much much more
