Rodong Sinmun Wednesday observes in a signed commentary carried in this regard:

This is an evident expression of the attempt for confrontation against reunification as well as a crafty ploy to conceal the treacherous and bellicose true colors and mislead the public opinion at home and abroad.

Owing to the anti-DPRK confrontational moves of the Lee Myung Bak group the agreements reached between the north and the south in the past for defusing the political and military confrontation on the Korean Peninsula were already reduced to dead documents and the peace of the country is seriously threatened.

Even at this moment the puppet warmongers are frantically conducting the large-scale Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises simulating the invasion of the DPRK in collusion with the U.S. imperialist aggression forces, posing a grave military threat to it.

They, however, vociferated about "respect for the agreements," "existence of the nation" and "co-prosperity," while shelving their own crimes. This is an imprudent act of reminding one of a thief crying "Stop the thief!"

The group of traitors including Hyon In Thaek is making all sorts of rhetoric to justify its treacherous policy of "co-existence" and "co-prosperity" and camouflage its true colors as a disturber of north-south relations and an anti-DPRK war maniac. But the nature of the wolf can not change though it puts on sheep's skin.

The group of traitors should not waste away time in a futile work but step down at once as unanimously demanded by the whole nation, urges the commentary.
