Pentagon: N. Korea could launch nuclear missile
Pentagon:
N. Korea 1
could launch 2
nuclear missile 3
A U.S. intelligence report 1
concludes 2
that North Korea has advanced 3
its nuclear knowhow 3
to the point
4that it could arm 6
a ballistic missile 3
with a nuclear warhead, a jarring revelation
4in the midst of bellicose threats
4from the unpredictable communist regime.
4 President Barack Obama 1
urged 2
calm, 3
calling on Pyongyang 5
to end its saber-rattling
4while sternly warning
4that he would “take 3
all necessary steps” 3
to protect American citizens.
4 The new American intelligence analysis, 1
disclosed Thursday 6
at a hearing in Congress,
4says 2
the Pentagon's intelligence wing has 3
“moderate confidence” 3
that North Korea has 6
nuclear weapons 3
capable of delivery 3
by ballistic missiles
4but that the weapon was unreliable. 6

Rep. Doug Lamborn 1
read 2
aloud
4what he said 3
was an unclassified paragraph 6=> 2
from a secret Defense Intelligence Agency report
4that was supplied => 6
to some members of Congress. =>
4The reading 1
seemed to take 2(???)
Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff 3
, by surprise,
4who said he hadn't seen 6
the report 3
and declined to answer 6
questions about it.
In a statement late Thursday,
4Pentagon press secretary George Little 1
said: 2
“While I 1
cannot speak 2
to all 3
the details of a report 3
that is classified in its entirety,6
it 1
would be inaccurate to suggest 2
that the North Korean regime has fully tested, developed or demonstrated 3
the kinds of nuclear capabilities referenced”
in Lamborn's remarks.
4`”The United States 1
continues to closely monitor 2
the North Korean nuclear program 3
and calls upon 2(call on : 요구하다)
North Korea 3
to honor its international obligations,” 3
Little 1
added.2
The DIA conclusion 1(3)
was confirmed 2
by a senior congressional aide 3 (1)
who spoke on 6
condition of anonymity 3( anonymity : 익명성)
because the Pentagon 1
had not officially released 2
the contents. 3
The aide 1
said 2
the report 3
was produced in March.6
Since the beginning of March,
4the Navy 1
has moved 2
two missile defense ships 3
closer to the coast of the Korean peninsula,
4in part to protect against
4a potential missile 3
launch aimed 6
at Guam, a U.S. territory in the Pacific.
4The Pentagon 1
also has announced 2
it will place 3
a more advanced land-based missile defense 3
on Guam,
4and Hagel 1
said 2
in March
4that he approved 3
installing 1
4 additional missile interceptors 3
in Alaska to bolster
4a portion of the missile defense network 3
that is designed to protect 6
all of U.S. territory.3
On Thursday,
4 the Pentagon 1
said 2
it had moved 3
a sea-based X-band radar 3
_ designed to track 6
warheads 3
in flight _ into position in the Pacific.
4Notably absent from (???)
that unclassified segment of the report 1
was any reference to 2
what the DIA believes
4is the range of a missile North Korea 6
could arm with 6
a nuclear warhead. 3
Much of its missile arsenal 1(arsenal : 무기, 무기고)
is capable of reaching 2
South Korea and Japan,
4but Kim 1
has threatened 2
to attack 3
the United States as well. 3
At the House Armed Services Committee
4hearing 5(???)
in which he revealed 6 (????) 그가 DIA 평가를 드러낸 것을 듣고서??
the DIA assessment, 3
Lamborn 1
asked 2
Dempsey, 3
whether he agreed with it. 3
Dempsey 1
said 2
he had not seen 3
the report. 3
“You 1
said 2
it's not publicly released,3
so I 1
choose not 2
to comment 3
on it,”
4Dempsey 1
said.2
But David Wright, 1
a nuclear weapons expert 6
at the Union of Concerned Scientists,
4said 2
the DIA assessment probably does not change 3
the views of those 3
who closely follow 6
developments 3
in North Korea's pursuit of a nuclear weapon.
4“People 1
are starting 2
to believe 3
North Korea very likely has 3
the capability 3
to build a nuclear weapon small
4enough to put on
4some of their shorter-range missiles,”3
Wright 1
said. 2
“Once you 1
start 2
talking about warheads 3
small enough and technically capable to be 6
on a long-range missile,
4 I1
think 2
it's much more 3
an open question.”
4The DIA assessment 1
is not out of line with comments 2
Dempsey made Wednesday 6
when he was asked 6
at a Pentagon news conference
4whether North Korea was capable of pairing 3
a nuclear warhead 3
to a ballistic missile
4that could reach Japan or beyond. 6
In response,
4Dempsey 1
said 2
the extent of North Korean progress on 3
designing a nuclear weapon 5
small enough to operate
4as a missile warhead 1
was a classified matter. 2
But he 1
did not rule out 2
that the North has achieved 3
the capability 3
revealed in the DIA report. 6
“They 1
have conducted 2
two nuclear tests,” 3
Dempsey 1
told 2
a Pentagon news conference. 3
“They 1
have conducted 2
several successful ballistic missile launches.3
And in the absence of concrete evidence to the contrary,
4we 1
have to assume 2
the worst case, 3
and that 1
's why we're postured 2(posture : 자세, 가식적으로 행동하다)
as we 1
are today.” 2
<

He 1
was referring to 2
recent moves 3
by the U.S. to increase its missile defense capabilities
4in the Pacific.
4At the same House hearing
where Lamborn revealed 6
the DIA conclusion3,
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel 1
was asked 2
a different version of the same question: 3
Does North Korea 1
have 2
the capability to strike U.S. territory 3
with a nuclear weapon?
4Hagel 1
said 2
the answer is no. 3
“Now 1(???)
does 2(???)
that mean 3(???)
that they won't have 3
it 3
or they can't have 3
it 3
or they're not working on3
it?” 3
Hagel 1
added. 2
“No. That 1
's why this is a very dangerous situation.” 2
“Now 1
is the time 2
for North Korea to end
4the belligerent approach 3( belligerent : 적대적인,공격적인)
they have taken and to try to lower 6
temperatures,” 3
Obama 1
said 2
in his first public comments
4since Pyongyang 1
threatened 2
the United States and its allies 3
in East Asia with nuclear attack.
4Obama, 1
speaking from the Oval Office, 5(oval office : 대통령 집무실)
said 2
he preferred to see 3
the tensions 3
on the peninsula
4resolved through diplomatic means,5
but added 2
that “the United States will take 3
all necessary steps 3
to protect its people.”
4The North 1
on Thursday
4delivered 2
a fresh round of war rhetoric 3(rhetoric : 미사여구, 수사법)
with claims
4it has (???)
“powerful striking means” 3
on standby, the latest in a torrent of warlike threats
4(torrent : 급류)
seen by outsiders 6
as an effort to scare and pressure
4South Korea and the U.S. 3
into changing their North Korea policies. 5

At a separate hearing Thursday,
4U.S. officials 1
offered 2
their assessment 3
of the North Korean leader,
4who is a grandson 6
of the country's founder, Kim Il Sung.
4Director of National Intelligence James Clapper 1
told the House Intelligence Committee 2
that he thinks 3
Kim, 3
who took control after his father, Kim Jong Il,6
died in 2011, 6
is trying to show the U.S., 3
the world and his own people 3
that he is “firmly in control in North Korea,” 6
while attempting to maneuver 5(maneuver : 책략, 술책)
the international community 3
into concessions in future negotiations.
4(concession : 양도, 토지,사업권 )
“I 1
don't think ...2
he has 3
much of an endgame 3
other than to somehow elicit recognition”
4?????(elicit : 끌어내다)
and to turn the nuclear threat 3
into “negotiation and to accommodation and presumably for aid,”
4Clapper 1
said. 2
Clapper 1
said 2
that the intelligence community believes 3
the North 3
would use nuclear weapons only to preserve 6
the Kim regime 3
but that analysts do not know 3
how the regime defines that.
