Minju Joson Saturday says in a signed commentary in this regard:

The Japanese people have rejected the U.S. military base in Futenma and the authorities of Japan are troubled with this issue. Yet, Lee proposed hosting this base in south Korea, an intolerable act of treachery.

It is as clear as noonday that in case the U.S. military base in Futenma is transferred to south Korea as requested by Lee, the situation on the Korean Peninsula will deteriorate beyond control, increasing the danger of a new war, a nuclear war and adversely affecting the situation in the surrounding countries.

What matters is that the traitor flatly denied that he made such offer, far from admitting such sycophancy toward the U.S., which may entail grave consequences, and apologizing for it.

Japanese magazine Bungei Shunju carried an article to the effect that Lee proposed the transfer of the Futenma military base to south Korea when meeting Obama.

It is too late to deny his outbursts.

Lee's traitorous, anti-reunification and bellicose true nature was brought to broad daylight through the recent disclosure of the reckless remarks made by him to serve outsiders in betrayal of the nation. The south Koreans will never be freed from the U.S. colonial rule and the whole nation will not be able to escape the holocaust of a new war, a nuclear war as long as he is allowed to stay in power.

Lee had better apologize for the acts of treachery he has committed so far and step down of his own accord before facing a stern trial by the nation.
