  • Joint Chiefs Say Invasion 'Only Way' to Totally Disarm N Korea
    Joint Chiefs say invasion 'only way' to totally disarm N Korea Image copyright GETTY IMAGES Image caption US soldiers take part in "Warrior Strike" exercises in South Korea in September A Pentagon assessment has declared the only way to completely destroy all parts of North Korea's nuclear weapons programme is through a ground invasion. Rear Admiral Michael Dumont expressed the opinion on behalf of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in a letter to Congressman Ted Lieu. Mr Dumont said calculating "even the roughest" potential casualty figures would be extremely difficult. He also gave some detail on what the first hours of a war would involve. "The only way to 'locate and destroy - with complete certainty - all components of North Korea's nuclear weapons programs' is through a ground invasion," he wrote in response to Congressman Lieu's questions about a potential conflict. The risks involved included a potential nuclear counter-attack by North Korea while US forces attempted to disable its "deeply buried, underground facilities", he said. "A classified briefing is the best venue for a detailed discussion," he added. The Joint Chiefs of Staff directly advise the president of the United States on military matters.
