U.S. Urged (by N. Korea) to Establish Peacekeeping Mechanism (and U.S. leave)
KCNA ^ | 11/23/09 | KCNA

Pyongyang, November 23 (KCNA) -- In order to put an end to confrontation and conflict in the Korean Peninsula and ensure its lasting peace and stability it is indispensable to terminate the state of ceasefire between the DPRK and the U.S. and establish a peacekeeping mechanism.

Rodong Sinmun Monday says this in a signed commentary.

Recalling that recently a group of warships of the south Korean forces perpetrated such unpardonable criminal act as opening fire on a patrol boat of the Navy of the Korean People's Army on routine guard duty in the waters of the north side in the West Sea of Korea, the commentary says:

If the proposal for replacing the armistice agreement with a peace accord, previously advanced by the DPRK, had been carried into practice, the Korean Peninsula would have turned into a peaceful zone free from war danger and there would have been no such case of armed conflict.

It is impossible to prevent the recurrence of war and any accidental armed conflict with the outdated DPRK-U.S. armistice agreement, which has already been reduced to no more than wastepaper due to the U.S. perfidy.

To replace the armistice agreement with a peace agreement as early as possible is one of the most reasonable and practical ways for establishing a new peacekeeping mechanism in the Korean Peninsula and turning the present unstable state of ceasefire into the state of lasting peace.

Whether peacekeeping mechanism is established or not entirely depends on the U.S. stand and attitude.

The issues of removing war danger from the Korean Peninsula and preventing armed conflict between the north and the south can be solved fundamentally only when the U.S. drops its hostile policy towards the DPRK and replaces the armistice agreement with a peace agreement.

The establishment of peacekeeping mechanism only will be able to turn the relationship between the DPRK and the U.S., which are technically at the state of war, into peaceful one.

The U.S. should immediately make a courageous decision to opt for the establishment of new peacekeeping mechanism which will be helpful to removing the war danger from the Korean Peninsula and guaranteeing peace.

The U.S. is well advised to fulfill what it should do, far from playing a double game, and thus contribute to ensuring peace in the peninsula.

What they want is to not be held in check any more at the 38th by US forces. They want a peace-keeping force to replace the US presence there, and we've got just the right idiot in the oval office to believe they want peace. I think zero would bite on this bait and abandon South Korea in a heartbeat in order to funnel the money we're spending now in South Korea into his domestic socialist agenda....just give it up to the oh so effective UN.

The result?

The south will be invaded, and zero will send a strongly worded letter of dissapointment and maybe invite KJI to a beer summit.

From what I understand it was the north who did not want anything to do with a peace treaty when the standoff started years ago.

I am TELLING YOU, THIS GUY screwed up in Asia last week, more than anyone can EVER imagine or that I can articulate. He has given the green light for aggression and war all over Asia. A Red Chinese PLA Major General in Beijing two nights ago started in on Taiwan and taking it back, for crying out loud. What a load of crap left behind in Asia by BHO. Sickening.
