“Bush`s Address Is Sophistry”

January 31st. North Korea criticized the U.S. for taking an aggressive stance toward North Korea after President George W. Bush accused Iran, Iraq and North Korea of being `an axis of evil` in his State of the Union address, reported AFP News from Seoul.

In a communiqué sent to Seoul by North Korea`s official Central News Agency, it stated "Bush`s comment is nothing but sophistry intended to maintain an aggressive policy against us and to post U. S. military in South Korea."
