Rodong Sinmun Friday observes this in a bylined article.

It goes on:

The spate of provocative remarks made by Lee even during his foreign trip is nothing but a buffoonery of a political ignoramus.

As far as contingency is concerned, this will happen to the conservative group only as it lacks in any proper political philosophy and is tight-cornered by the south Koreans' fierce anti-"government" actions.

It is an intolerable insult and provocation to the DPRK that Lee dares to bring down its socialism, the lifeline of the Korean people though he is in such poor position that he cannot solve his own problems.

The south Korean conservative group's racket for confrontation of the systems is a treacherous one to do harm to fellow countrymen under the signboard of "unification" and realize its wild ambition for "unification under liberal democracy."

The Lee Myung Bak group can never escape punishment for its swimming against the trend of the national history toward independence, reunification and peace and prosperity.
