Meanwhile, they completed the deployment of ground-to-air guided missiles and launched the training to get familiar with them. They also contemplate introducing from the U.S. laser devices capable of guiding fighters to super-precision bombing.

Rodong Sinmun Monday observes in a bylined commentary in this regard: This is the worst political military provocation in history as it is little short of leveling rifles and artillery pieces at the fellow countrymen overcome with deep grief over the loss of the father of the nation.

The commentary goes on:

The South Korean warmongers' noisy trumpeting about "provocation from the north," a fiction, is aimed at justifying their racket for military confrontation and further escalating it.

The above-said plan of the warmongers at home and abroad itself may push the situation on the Korean Peninsula to a war phase any moment as it remains unstable and is most likely to spark an armed conflict.

The deployment of the ground-to-air missiles and the projected introduction of the ground target pointing laser devices irrefutably prove that the puppet warmongers are set to implement their heinous scenario for invading the north.

The Lee Myung Bak group is letting loose such rhetoric as "it is keeping the window of opportunity open" and "its north policy is flexible" in a bid to create impression that it is interested in defusing the tension on the Korean Peninsula and improving the inter-Korean relations. But it admits of no further argument that they are nothing but hypocritical remarks and sheer sophism intended to evade the responsibility for the bedeviled inter-Korean relations and misleading public opinion in a bid to realize their ambition for invasion of the north in collusion with outside forces.

Those fond of playing with fire are destined to perish therein.
