A Special New Year’s Message From North Korea

Does anyone think North Korea would issue a New Year’s message wishing for peace and happiness for the upcoming New Year? Of course not.  Instead North Korea released a New Year’s message threatening war and demanding the withdrawal of US troops from South Korea:

North Korea on Sunday issued a New Year’s message demanding the withdrawal of U.S. troops from South Korea. The New Year’s message didn’t mention a word about the nuclear standoff with the United States.

“The entire nation should firmly defend peace and security on the Korean Peninsula by turning out in the Struggle to resolutely foil the U.S. attempt to launch another war. We must remove the root cause of war completely from this land by launching a nationwide campaign for driving out the U.S. troops,” said a joint editorial by North Korea’s Rodong Sinmun and two other major state-run newspapers.

Yawn….. More rhetoric. This makes me wonder if this proclamation is in coordination with the communist anti-USFK groups protesting the USFK redeployment to Camp Humphreys? Anyway North Korea’s proclamation is interesting because the majority of the US soldiers here would love to go home.
