A sinister aim sought by the U.S. through this is to realize the "strategic flexibility" of the U.S. forces present in south Korea in return for providing a "nuclear umbrella" to south Korea in "contingency" on the Korean Peninsula, the statement said, and went on:

Nevertheless, the Lee Myung Bak "government" is unhesitatingly doing such reckless things to spark off a military conflict between the south and the north in an effort to weather its ruling crisis.

The Lee regime's anachronistic and Cold War-minded anti-DPRK confrontational policy will only bring its destruction.

The people's resentment at the Lee regime is growing stronger as it brought people's livelihood, democracy, south-north relations, etc. to catastrophe.

Lee Myung Bak will not be able to escape a stern judgment of history for madly pursuing the confrontation with fellow countrymen and sycophancy toward the U.S.
