Lee Myung Bak Group Accused of Dancing to Tune of U.S.

Pyongyang, May 25 (KCNA) -- The presidential secretary for foreign strategy of Chongwadae of south Korea at a recent "seminar on board" of a warship of the puppet navy talked nonsense that the north "could not defend the security of its system with nukes and missiles". The south Korean minister of "Unification" at a "forum on the policy toward the north" urged the north to "withdraw the stand of rejecting the six-party talks" and "stop posing the threat of nuclear test and launching intercontinental ballistic missiles".

Rodong Sinmun Monday observes this in a signed commentary:

This is nothing but jargons made by the pitiful cat's paws dancing to the tune of the U.S., unaware of how the peace and security of the Korean Peninsula are protected.

But for the DPRK's powerful war deterrent for self-defence built up with Songun, a war would have broken out on the Korean Peninsula more than ten times.

It is disgusting, indeed, for the group of traitors to dare slander the DPRK defending the peace on the peninsula.

It was quite natural for the DPRK to have decided not to participate in the six-party talks now being used as a platform for undisguisedly pursuing the confrontation with it as it regards sovereignty and dignity as its life and soul.

The nuclear test and the launch of intercontinental ballistic missiles are the options taken by the DPRK to defend itself from the military threat increased by the imperialist forces for aggression and firmly defend the peace on the peninsula and the security of the nation.

The DPRK will bolster up the war deterrent for self-defense in every way along the road already chosen by itself for the peace on the peninsula and the security of the nation no matter how others may speak ill of it as long as the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK and its nuclear threat and its lackeys the Lee Myung Bak war-like forces' moves to ignite a war against the north persist. The DPRK cannot take other option than the one mentioned above now that the hostile forces use the six-party talks as a lever for infringing upon the sovereignty of the DPRK, disarming and stifling it.

The Lee Myung Bak group would be well advised to stop such foolish acts, clearly understanding the DPRK's unshakable revolutionary will to shatter the moves of the imperialist forces for aggression to stifle the DPRK and firmly defend the peace on the peninsula with the might of the army of Songun.
