U.S. Conservative Hard-liners' Hindrance to Six-party Talks Assailed

Date: 02/04/2008 | Source: KCNA.co.jp (En) | Read original version at source

Pyongyang, April 1 (KCNA) -- Bolton, known to be a most hawkish element in the U.S., in an article contributed to the recent issue of the Wall Street Journal, asked the authorities to stop the six-party talks and increase the international pressure upon the DPRK.
Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary carried in this regard says:
Bolton asserted that the U.S. should stop the six-party talks and make a switchover to the offensive for pressurizing the DPRK so that the U.S. may carry on the "earlier security strategy" pursued by it before the start of the talks. This assertion represents the wrong stance of the U.S. conservative hard-liners displeased with the talks.
At a time when international public attention is focused on the resumption of the six-party talks for the settlement of the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. the U.S. conservative hard-liners only wish to see the talks collapse and the situation deteriorate. As far as the delay made in the implementation of the points agreed upon at the talks is concerned, the U.S. is chiefly to blame for this.
The U.S. conservative hard-liners are talking about "benefits" and "delay" though they do not know properly what is now under discussion at the talks. This is nothing but a jargon that can be let loose only by those who seek to shift all blames onto the DPRK in a bid to bring back the situation to the period before the start of the talks.
It is naive for them to calculate they can settle the issue by way of pressure. And it is a daydream for them to try to get something by browbeating the DPRK through the international cooperation in pressurizing it.
The U.S. moves to increase the pressure upon the DPRK by pursuing a hard-line policy of pressure instead of seeking a negotiated settlement of the issue will only result in derailing the process for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
Should the U.S. conservative hard-liners push the situation on the peninsula and the DPRK-U.S. relations to the worst phase, doggedly opposed to the negotiated solution of the issue, the U.S. will be held wholly responsible for the ensuing catastrophic consequences, warns the commentary.
