Lee Myung Bak Group's Call for Confrontation and War against DPRK Assailed

Pyongyang, January 15 (KCNA) -- Ri Sang Hui, puppet defense minister, recently cried out for "taking a posture for prompt counteraction" in such sensitive areas as waters along the "northern limit line" in the West Sea and the Demilitarized Zone and asserted the need to adopt an all-out national defense stance in the new year, too, in order to cope with "threat" from someone.

Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun Thursday observes:

The provocative outbursts let loose by the minister to chill the Koreans' desire for the peace of the country and its peaceful reunification are the revelation of his criminal scenario to escalate the confrontation with the DPRK and the moves for a war of aggression against it this year.

The puppet warmongers are contemplating stepping up the military ruckus in such militarily sensitive areas as those along the Military Demarcation Line. This is, in fact, little short of playing with fire by the side of a powder keg.

Too much dark cloud is bound to bring rain. The escalated military confrontation and tension between the north and the south are bound to lead to an armed conflict and this will no doubt develop into an all-out war. No one can vouch that the above-said call made by the puppet military under this tense situation will not lead to the third West Sea skirmish and another Korean war.

The puppet warmongers' desperate bid to find a way out in escalating the military confrontation with the DPRK reminds one of a puppy which knows no fear of a tiger.

The DPRK will strictly keep tabs on the crimes the traitors have committed by working hard to bring a nuclear war holocaust to the nation in collusion with outsiders and certainly force them to pay for their treachery.

The Lee Myung Bak group would be well advised to behave itself, mindful that its dangerous military provocation is as foolish an act as jumping into fire with faggot on its back.
