War Exercises against DPRK Labeled Unpardonable Treachery
Pyongyang, March 9 (KCNA) -- The large-scale joint military exercises against fellow countrymen staged by the Lee Myung Bak group of south Korea together with foreign forces can never be tolerated in the least as they are a treacherous crime of going against the trend of the times toward independent reunification, peace and prosperity, says Rodong Sinmun Monday in a signed article.

Citing facts to prove that since it took office, talking about the "lost decade", the Lee Myung Bak group has been strengthening the collusion with foreign forces seeking to ignite a war of aggression on the DPRK while vociferating about the "strengthened alliance" with the U.S., the article notes:

The adventurous scheme of the Lee group to ignite a war of aggression against the DPRK is clearly evidenced by its joint military exercises with the U.S. being staged nonstop in south Korea.

The touch-and-go situation in which a nuclear war may break out any moment is prevailing in the Korean Peninsula and the destiny of the nation is exposed to threat owing to the reckless moves of the Lee Myung Bak bellicose group to provoke a war of aggression against the DPRK.

The U.S. has long pursued its strategy for aggression on the DPRK in a bid to dominate the Korean Peninsula as a whole.

To kowtow to such foreign aggression forces and cooperate with them in their moves for a war of aggression on the DPRK is a treacherous act of selling off the interests of the nation lock, stock and barrel and posing a serious threat to the life and security of all Koreans.

The existence of the Lee group of traitors, who do not hesitate to betray their nation for the sake of the outsiders' interests, itself is a disgrace and disaster to the Korean nation.

It is a foolish dream for the group to seek to do harm to the fellow countrymen by force of arms in collusion with foreign forces.

The Lee group will certainly have to pay for such tremendous treacherous crime as getting frantic in war cooperation with foreign forces, contrary to the trend of the times toward national independence.
