Rodong Sinmun Saturday observes this in a signed article.

As was the case with all rackets for confrontation with compatriots kicked up by the successive sycophants and traitors of south Korea serving the U.S., the recent warship case faked up by the Lee Myung Bak group was unprecedented in its heinous, crafty and persistent nature.

The Lee group so busied itself visiting its American and Japanese masters in a bid to beg them to tighten sanctions against the DPRK and step up "joint actions" against it and seek "cooperation" at the UN Security Council, etc. but the above-said anti-DPRK campaign has totally gone bust.

It is the first time in the history of south Korea that it is threatened with an extreme crisis in the middle of a ruler's office though it was usually seen at the end of his tenure of office.

South Korean public anger and popular resistance against the reckless moves of the conservative group to bring the inter-Korean relations to a collapse and provoke a war against the DPRK are shaking the dictatorial regime to its very foundation and driving the group of traitors to a bottomless abyss of ruin. This group cooked up the warship case in a bid to do harm to the DPRK but this ended up throwing the group into a trap dug by itself.

When looking back on history, all the policies defying the trend of the times and the mindset of the people are fated without exception to go bankrupt and the dictators who spearheaded their enforcement meet their ends, cursed and censured by the people. The same fate awaits the Lee group.
