Rodong Sinmun Tuesday observes this in a signed article.

It goes on:

The above-said action is a product of the despicable collusion and tie-up between the master and his servant as it brought to light their scenario to provoke the war.

The U.S. extension of the OPCON under the pretext of the warship case made it possible for it to strengthen its military domination over south Korea and put its conservative ruling forces under a tighter control in a bid to effectively use them as a shock brigade for implementing its policy for invading the DPRK. Meanwhile, the conservative group solicited from its master positive political and military "support" for its moves to escalate the confrontation with fellow countrymen and provoke a war of aggression against the DPRK and it got greater courage to perpetrate reckless military provocations against compatriots.

It is needless to say that the above-said action will entail such serious adverse consequences as stoking the confrontation between the north and the south, escalating the tension on the Korean Peninsula and increasing the danger of a war of aggression against the DPRK.

The Lee Myung Bak group is, indeed, an unpardonable gang of traitors as it is making desperate efforts to ignite a war of aggression against the DPRK, selling off even the dignity and interests of the nation to outside forces.

The Koreans are keenly aware of the inside story about the south Korean conservative group's criminal extension of the OPCON and will force the group to stand a trial of history for selling off the country and the nation.
