Minju Joson Friday observes this in a signed commentary.

It goes on:

His reckless remarks about "provocation of the north" and "changes" were aimed to justify his moves for war and confrontation with fellow countrymen by spreading false rumor that the warship was "sunk by the north".

What merits serious attention is that the traitor trumpeted about "peace community", "economic community" and "national community" presupposing "the north's dismantlement of its nukes". This is nothing but brigandish sophism intended to force the DPRK to disarm itself and realize his wild ambition to invade it with ease.

His ballyhooing about "communities" presupposing "the north's dismantlement of its nukes" is no more than sleight of hand to create the impression that he is interested in peace and unification in an effort to mislead public opinion at home and abroad.

What should not be overlooked is that the traitor was so foolish as to spell out "unification tax" this time.

If he has even an iota of true intention to avert a war, improve the inter-Korean relations and achieve unification, he should not talk about such "unification tax" but opt to respect and implement the north-south declarations.

What he seeks is to tide over his serious ruling crisis and escalate the moves for war and confrontation with fellow countrymen.

The desperate efforts of traitor Lee Myung Bak and his group to do harm to fellow countrymen will only trigger off bitterer rebuff and condemnation among the people and precipitate their own destruction.
