Lee Myung Bak Group's Talk about "Dialogue" Dismissed

Pyongyang, March 23 (KCNA) -- Traitor Lee Myung Bak, addressing a recent graduation ceremony of a puppet naval academy, again talked nonsense about the inter-Korean relations that "the south and the north should opt for co-existence and co-prosperity, not confrontation." The minister of "Unification" and his other mandarins tried to create the impression that they are willing to improve the inter-Korean relations, while talking about "unconditional dialogue."

Rodong Sinmun Monday observes in a signed commentary in this regard:

The group of traitors' loudmouthed "dialogue" is nothing but a wordplay to calm down the domestic and foreign public's bitter criticism of the maneuvers for a war of aggression against the DPRK staged by it, pushing the situation on the Korean Peninsula to such dangerous phase that a war may break out any moment and its act of driving the north-south relations to the worst crisis in which there is neither dialogue nor cooperation.

The door will never be opened to inter-Korean dialogue as long as the Lee group persists in their moves to escalate the confrontation with the DPRK in collusion with outside forces, and even if it takes place, it will turn into a platform for fresh confrontation.

If the south Korean authorities truly want dialogue and cooperation and have a will to improve the inter-Korean relations, they should, first of all, discard their posture and stand to do harm to compatriots in league with foreign forces and immediately roll back their treacherous "policy towards the north."

The Lee group had better stop letting loose rhetoric intended to mislead the public opinion, mindful that the more frequently it gives lip-service to "dialogue" without making any policy switchover, the more saliently it will reveal the group's true colors as wicked separatists.
