US Makes New Plans for War on Pyongyang

This article in the Sydney Morning Herald reports that the US is developing a new plan to consolidate American and South Korean forces in areas away from the demilitarized zone in the Korean Peninsula. A US official told reporters that the U.S. military would be able to line up around the demilitarized zone if war broke out, and this would be "Kim Jong-Il's worst nightmare." Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz has also stated that the U.S. and South Korean joint military response would be "devastatingly effective" should the North attack. – YaleGlobal
