Bell: U.S. will answer attack on South Korea

YONGSAN GARRISON, South Korea — America’s top military official in South Korea on Monday cautioned North Korea to use “long and deliberate thought” before pursuing its nuclear programs or taking any aggressive measures toward its southern neighbor.

Last month’s nuclear test by North Korea did nothing to deter a long-term plan to rely on a combination of South Korean ground forces and American naval and air forces during a wartime crisis on the peninsula, Gen. B.B. Bell, U.S. Forces Korea’s commander, said during a press briefing.

“Anyone who is considering attacking the Republic of Korea ought to consider with long and deliberate thought the capacity of the U.S. to bring those two capabilities to bear and do it very, very quickly,” Bell said, referring to South Korea by its official name.

During much of the hourlong conference, Bell’s message seemed directed less at the national and international press and more at North Korea.
