Lee, touring a frontline unit on Wednesday, blustered that "the north shows a very bellicose posture" and the Korean Peninsula is a "divided country where exist the most warlike forces in the world."

He went the lengths of crying out for "taking strong posture for counter-action to deter the north from provocation."

This is an unpardonable insult to the mourners in the north still in unbearable sorrow and grief over the loss of the great father of the nation and an act adding to his crimes.

As far as "bellicose nature of the north" touted by Lee Myung Bak is concerned, it is an eruption of anger of the service personnel and people of the DPRK at the worst confrontation and war monger who drove the situation of the Korean Peninsula to the brink of war by insulting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK during the mourning period of the nation.

Lee brought into bolder relief his true colors as anti-DPRK confrontation maniac and human scum by rubbing salt into the wounds of the grief-stricken compatriots.

He issued an order to the whole puppet army to "be on emergency combat alert" and reinforced and deployed armed forces around the five islands in the West Sea of Korea and the frontline areas.

His group worked out even an "emergency plan" for coping with a probable incident, letting loose extremely provocative remarks that "the north may make provocations for rallying its internal forces" and "field commanders should decisively punish any provocation according to their judgment and decision".

As seen above, even during the mourning period the group of traitors leveled guns at the fellow countrymen and brandished swords against them, revealing their intention to do harm to the DPRK. These were the monstrous crimes which could be committed only by those steeped in the consciousness of confrontation with the DPRK to the marrow of their bones.

That was why south Korean people from all walks of life denounced the Lee group, querying "is there anyone to initiate a war during mourning period and is there any depraved guy issuing an emergency alert to a mourner's house?"

The Lee group committed such thrice-cursed crimes as refusing to express condolences, groundlessly shifting the "final responsibility" for the sinking of the warship "Cheonan" and shelling of Yonphyong Island onto the supreme leadership of the DPRK.

This compelled the service personnel and people of the DPRK to harden their will not to deal with Lee Myung Bak group for good and force him to pay for all his treasons.

What he uttered about "bellicose nature" of someone touring the frontline area this time is nothing but sheer sophism to cover up the above-said high treasons. In other words, it is no more than a foolish artifice to evade the responsibility for bedeviling the inter-Korean relations and driving the situation to the brink of war.

The service personnel and people of the DPRK will mercilessly punish those warmongers who hurt the great and sacred dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK and the noble feelings and determination to protect it to the last and who are keen to destroy Korean style socialism.
