SEOUL, South Korea Sep 21, 2005 — North Korea on Wednesday accused the United States of intending to disarm the communist country and then "crush it to death with nuclear weapons" two days after a landmark disarmament agreement that was expected to ease tensions.

North Korea pledged to give up its nuclear weapons program in return for economic aid and security assurances at six-nation talks in Beijing on Monday the first breakthrough in more than two years of negotiations.

However, the country's rhetoric since then has cast doubt on its commitment to the agreement and underscored its unpredictability, though none of its negotiating partners say they expect a breakdown in the disarmament talks, scheduled to continue in November.

"The ulterior intention of the United States talking about resolving the nuclear issue under the signboard of the six-party talks is as clear as daylight," the North's Rodong Sinmun newspaper said in a commentary carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.

"In a word, it intends to disarm and crush us to death with nuclear weapons," the commentary said.

Washington has repeatedly denied North Korean allegations that it is planning an attack.

Negotiation as usual with Pyong Yang. Maybe we should just Nuke'em now and get it over with. They do this same thing all the time. They're always jerking our chain, difference is, this is President Bush they're messing with, not Bubba Clinton.
