Rodong Sinmun on army-based policy
Pyongyang, January 27 (KCNA) -- The army-based policy serves as an effective political mode of giving a strong impetus to the progress of the era of independence, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article.
The army-based policy is a perfect political mode in the era of independence which reflects the demand and desire of the popular masses for independence, peace and progress.
Now that the dominationist forces are desperately working to dominate the world by force of arms, it is foolish to try to persuade and stop them with any theory or eloquence.
It is the best way of achieving victory in the confrontation with them to build up strength.
The army-based policy, therefore, serves as an effective political mode making it possible to build up muscle strong enough to deal telling blows to those forces.
The revolutionary practice and experience and actual life in the present times prove that it is the most correct way of protecting the destiny of every country and nation and achieving its independent development and prosperity to pursue an army-based policy in the world today.
Leader Kim Jong Il, not wedded to the preceding theories and experience, further developed in depth President Kim Il Sung's idea of giving priority to the army and military affairs, thus singling out the conception of giving priority to the army as a political idea and revolutionary line of the Workers' Party of Korea and formulating the army-based policy as a perfect political mode.
The core of his army-based policy is the army and its main principle is to give priority to military affairs.
Thanks to his army-based policy the Korean people could bravely overcome unprecedented difficulties in the 90s of the past century, emerge victorious in the life and death confrontation with the imperialists, defend socialism and energetically speed up the drive to build a powerful nation.

The three appeals are in line with the spirit of the June 15 joint declaration and the urgent requirements of national reunification and the three proposals show concrete ways of giving an impetus to the march of all the fellow countrymen for reunification, it said, adding:

Young people called upon to take lead in struggle for national reunification
Pyongyang, January 27 (KCNA) -- Kim Kyong Ho, first secretary of the central committee of the Kim Il Sung Socialist Youth League, released a statement yesterday.
It is the most just proposal that the joint meeting of the DPRK government, political parties and organizations called upon the fellow countrymen at home and abroad to turn out in a nationwide anti-war struggle to remove the factors of threatening peace of the country and obstructing its reunification, he said, and went on:
To check and frustrate the moves of the home and foreign bellicose elements to provoke a new war is, indeed, a prerequisite to opening a new phase of national reunification this year.
He underscored the need to get the U.S. troops withdrawn from South Korea, check the joint military exercises with foreign forces, seek the withdrawal of the "arch enemy" conception and the repeal of the "Security Law".
He earnestly called upon all the youth and students in South Korea and abroad to more vigorously wage the patriotic struggle to open up a decisive phase of national reunification this year in hearty response to the three appeals and three proposals made at the joint meeting.

U.S. moves to reorganize its forces in S. Korea under fire
Pyongyang, January 27 (KCNA) -- Minju Joson today in a signed commentary dismisses the U.S. imperialists' moves to reorganize the units of the u.s. forces in South Korea and newly build and expand various military installations as a wanton challenge and insult to the Korean nation demanding their withdrawal from South Korea.
The commentary says:
The U.S. imperialists are now staging such farces as closing or integrating U.S. bases in South Korea as a gesture of doing something good for the Koreans.
This is, however, nothing but moves to calm down the voices of the Korean people demanding the withdrawal of the U.S. forces from South Korea and retain their firm grip on South Korea as their permanent military base.
It is an unchangeable ambition of the u.s. imperialists to swallow up the whole of Korea by force of arms to realize their world domination.
The Bush administration is made up of warmongers. Right after it came to power it designated the DPRK as its "no.1 enemy" and has since clamoured about the so-called "nuclear issue," "missile issue" and the "issue of cutdown of conventional armed forces" in a bid to disarm the DPRK and seize it with ease.
As long as the U.S. imperialists keep their aggression forces in South Korea and persist in their moves to start a war against the north, the Korean peninsula cannot be free from the danger of war and its independent and peaceful reunification is hardly achievable.
The Korean nation will further intensify the struggle to force the U.S. forces to withdraw from South Korea because the U.S. imperialists are keen to use South Korea as their permanent base for a war against the DPRK.
If the U.S. truly wishes peace and security in northeast Asia and the rest of the world, they should drop its hardline and hostile policy towards the DPRK and opt for pulling its forces out of South Korea.
