U.S. Decision to Deploy Latest Type Nuclear Carrier in Yokosuka Assailed
Pyongyang, January 31, 2006 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Korean Jurists Committee made public a statement on Jan. 30 strongly demanding the U.S. repeal its recent decision to permanently deploy its latest type nuclear carrier George Washington at its naval base in Yokosuka, Japan, I don't see it happenin'...

so as to replace its "aging" carrier Kittyhawk.

This is a grave threat to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and peace and security in Northeast Asia, the statement noted, and continued: The decision clearly proves what dangerous phase the U.S. preparations for a preemptive nuclear attack on the DPRK have reached. As the reality shows, the U.S. is chiefly responsible for having strained the situation on the Korean Peninsula and hamstrung the solution to the nuclear issue. It is none other than the U.S. that grossly reneged on its international commitments and obligations under international law by not submiting to North Korean blackmail... The U.S. said more than once that it has no intention to launch a military attack and invasion against the DPRK. It committed itself in the joint statement adopted at the fourth round of the six-party talks that it has no intention to attack or invade the DPRK with nukes or conventional weapons and it would respect its sovereignty and peacefully co-exist with it and take measures to normalize the relations with it. As for Japan, it is the only country in the world which suffered the tragedy of nuclear holocaust caused by the U.S stands behind America... The Japanese people do not want to face such tragedy again and preceding governments of Japan considered the three non-nuclear principles capitalism, freedom and democracy which prohibit the production of nuclear weapons in Japan, the introduction and deployment of those weapons in its territory as their state policy, though nominally. Now that the moves of the forces hostile to the DPRK have reached their extreme phase, the DPRK is left with no other option but to bolster its nuclear deterrent for self-defence. The U.S. and Japan had better stop at once such reckless moves, well aware that they can never evade the responsibility for having strained the military and political situation/stabillity on the Korean Peninsula and the rest of Northeast Asia and created new difficulties in the way of denuclearizing the peninsula with their undisguised nuclear arms build-up.

All the U.S has to do is sail it's Carrier into a friendly port, and the threat of nuclear war has "reached an extreme phase"... Who's scared of this lunacy?
