Credit: Reuters/Yang Hee-Seok By Phil Stewart WASHINGTON | Wed Jul 14, 2010 4:57pm EDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States and South Korea are expected to soon approve a series of joint military exercises that aim to deter the North from any future attack following the sinking of a South Korean warship, the Pentagon said on Wednesday. The naval and air exercises in the Yellow Sea and the Sea of Japan, likely to be finalized during high-level talks next week in Seoul, go beyond those previously announced following the March attack that killed 46 sailors. North Korea has denied responsibility but is widely blamed for sinking the warship. "All of these exercises are defensive in nature but will send a clear message of deterrence to North Korea and demonstrate our steadfast commitment to the defense of South Korea," Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell said. He declined to offer details but said the exercises "will involve a wide range of assets and are expected to be initiated in the near future." U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Defense Secretary Robert Gates will likely approve the plans when they meet their counterparts in Seoul on July 21, he said. China, North Korea's only real ally and benefactor, has closely followed the possibility of U.S. military exercises in the Yellow Sea. It has voiced concern about reports that a U.S. aircraft carrier may be involved. Morrell said Beijing had no say about the drills, however. "Obviously (the Chinese) are a regional power and a country ... whose opinion we respect and consider," Morrell said. "But this is a matter of our ability to exercise in open seas, in international waters. Those determinations are made by us and us alone." The United States has about 28,000 forces in South Korea, which remains technically at war with the North nearly six decades after the end of the 1950-1953 Korean War. The U.S. military had long planned to hand over potential wartime operational control of South Korean forces by 2012, should conflict break out on the Korean Peninsula again. But President Barack Obama and South Korean President Lee Myung-bak agreed last month to push back that date until the second half of 2015. The delay was meant to send a clear message about U.S. staying power in the region and had been under discussion months before warship's sinking, U.S. officials have said. Morrell said the delay would allow a broader transfer of responsibilities, including off the ground operations command. "This will allow us to make sure we are all synched up and ultimately be stronger as an alliance for having taken the time to do so," he told reporters at the Pentagon. (Editing by Mohammad Zargham) World South Korea Comments See All Comments (2) | Post Comment Jul 14, 2010 3:21pm EDT Shut up China, and stay out of it. China directly supported the communist North attempt to take over the penisula, which was in DIRECT violation of the post-WWII peace arrangement set up by the UN/allied victors. Therefore, China should have lost any right to have input in the dealings between North and South Korea – even if China shares a border. When China complains about a U.S. aircraft carrier, the U.S. should send two. When China refused to acknowledge North Korea as responsible for the sinking of South Korea’s warship, that should be a CONFIRMATION to the international community that North Korea was responsible. jarocks Report As Abusive Jul 14, 2010 3:55pm EDT Screw China-a communist country that treat it’s people under a tight rope,kills 100’s of 100’s of there people everyyear,no better than Cubu and yet our government lets China flood this country with there cheaplt made products while we can not export our goods in thier country-all we buy from China goes to there building up there military-there hell bent on being the top super power in this country-I wished our government would stop all Chinese product from coming into this country-we can buy cheap products from other countries that will trade fairly with us,China is building up military stuff for the invasion of Taiwain,land craft big time,aircraft carrier,thousands of missiles pointed at Taiwain and there going to try and take that country sooner or later.china has the worst human rights in the whole world yet our government kisses there A$$.China has been hacking our government and military and companies that build military stuff-it’s time for America to tell China to kiss our free A$$ES creasybear27 Report As Abusive See All Comments (2) Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
