SEOUL, South Korea (AP) Escalating renewed verbal attacks on the United States, North Korea accused President Bush on Saturday of trying to stifle the communist country and said it was ready to fight a war with the Americans.
"If any enemy comes in attack on the Democratic People's Republic of (North) Korea, its army will not allow him to go back alive," said Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the North's ruling Workers' Party.
North Korea has increased its anti-U.S. rhetoric since Bush warned early this month that Iraq and North Korea would be "held accountable" if they developed weapons of mass destruction to carry out terrorism.
North Korea's 1.1-million-member military is the world's fifth largest. It is suspected of having stockpiled weapons-grade plutonium to make one or two atomic bombs.
Bush demands that North Korea allow U.N. experts to inspect the North's nuclear program, and the North has responded with verbal attacks.
Saturday's commentary carried by the North's official news agency, KCNA, and monitored in Seoul said U.S.-North Korea relations have worsened to the "point of explosion."
North Korea should maintain "the highest degree of vigilance" against the United States, it said.
In a separate article carried by KCNA, Minju Joson, another state-run North Korean newspaper, accused the United States of trying to "spread the 'anti-terror' war now under way in Afghanistan to any part of the world."
The United States keeps 37,000 U.S. troops in South Korea under a mutual defense treaty.

Now,now,wait your turn,Kim.
Hmmmm, didn't Omar say the same thing about 2 months ago?
Oh Please! Shut the - up!
(Kim Jong-Il presses "2.")
"Transferring your call. Please hold."
New voice: "Hello, this is the United States Department of Defense. All of our representatives are busy assisting other idiots--er, customers desiring a conflict with the United States. Your call is important to us. Please remain on the line for a customer service representative. Please have an accurate accounting of your nation's weapons of mass destruction available so that me can expedite your request."
(Phone switches over to a really ghastly rendition of 1970s pop rendered in the elevator music style.)
Anybody remember these lines and what happened several months after they pissed us off ?
Iraq's 1.x-million-member military is the world's fourth largest. It is suspected of having stockpiled weapons-grade plutonium to make one or two atomic bombs
Please North Korea ... bring it on.
The Taleban is gone despite all the concerns for a "quagmire."
Saddam was really removed from Kuwait depite all the predictions of large casualties.
The Kyber Pass is not the stopping point for anyone with command of the air, like was said of everyone since Alexander the Great.
These petty tyrants should start waking up.
(Who was the fool to limit the U.S. to a two front war, anyway? It has given all these rogue states he notion they can wage a campaign against the U.S. if they all strike at roughly the same time.)
