Lee Myung Bak's Reckless Remarks under Fire

Pyongyang, July 13 (KCNA) -- Some days ago, traitor Lee Myung Bak of south Korea, appeared at the inaugural ceremony of the 14th-term "Advisory Council for Democracy and Peaceful Unification" to slander the DPRK with such conventional phrases as "provocation" and "threat." And he talked nonsense that "they would put straight the south-north relations though this process may be difficult and sluggish" and that "the north should no longer aggravate the situation."

Commenting on his imprudent remarks, Rodong Sinmun Monday dismisses them as a last-ditch effort to evade the blame for deteriorated inter-Korean relations and preposterous sophism intended to distort the reality.

The traitor has no right to talk about the inter-Korean relations, the daily says, and goes on:

He is utterly indifferent to the development of the north-south relations as he has sought only division, instead of reunification, and the interests of a handful of traitors, instead of those of the nation.

If Lee had not denied the inter-Korean declarations and their spirit nor adopted he as a policy to make confrontation with fellow countrymen, the inter-Korean relations which had developed favorably would not have been driven into the worst crisis as they are today.

It is the stark reality that the group of traitors declared its full participation in the PSI, little different from war declaration, unreasonably slandering the DPRK's exercise of independent rights and have taken the lead in kicking up a racket of international "sanctions" on the DPRK in league with foreign forces.

Traitor Lee Myung Bak can never hide its wild design for national division and inter-Korean confrontation, the daily stresses, adding:

Though he is a master-hand at shifting any blame on to others, Lee can never evade the blame for having driven the inter-Korean relations to total collapse and brought the situation of the Korean Peninsula to the brink of war.
