Rodong Sinmun Tuesday observes this in a signed article.

The moves for tightening "alliance" with the U.S. are a traitorous act diametrically running counter to the efforts for establishing sovereignty of the nation, an act of swimming against history and the trend of the times toward independent reunification and anti-peace moves increasing danger of war, the article says, and goes on:

The Lee Myung Bak group is working hard to shoulder increased share of the cost for keeping the U.S. imperialist aggression troops in south Korea and bring benefit to them while opposing "reduction" of the troops.

The Lee group is imploring the U.S. troops for permanent stay in south Korea under the pretence of tightened "alliance" while clinging to the coattail of the U.S. This is very shameful treachery.

The "alliance" with the U.S. means "alliance for war." The Lee group is militarily cooperating with the U.S. which is watching for every chance for invading the DPRK, and further strengthening collusion with it. It is as clear as noonday that such reckless behavior would escalate military confrontation and tension and increase danger of war on the Korean Peninsula.

The Lee group will meet only destruction if it continues to opt for cooperation with foreign forces and dependence on them while antagonizing the fellow countrymen, obsessed with sycophancy towards the U.S. and treachery.
