Ryu U Ik, puppet minister of Unification, let loose a stream of such nonsense as "the north's mud-slinging at the south got markedly intensified", "the north's mud-slinging is violation of the basic agreement between the south and the north" and "it is not helpful to the development of the south-north relations," the bulletin said, and continued:

This is nothing but clumsy and ridiculous excuses of the group of traitors much upset by the full disclosure of its true colors as the most hideous confrontation maniacs and the main culprit of the collapse of the inter-Korean relations in face of the DPRK's just assertions and undeniable evidence.

The Lee group had better reflect on the crimes it has committed against the nation and reunification before talking about someone's "slander."

It was only the Lee group which made no scruple of committing such unethical act as rubbing salt into the wounds of the fellow countrymen, crying out for "dealing with the north's leadership and its people separately" at a time when all the Koreans and the whole world were stricken with the bitter sorrow over the passing of leader Kim Jong Il.

The puppet warmongers launched Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military drills in collusion with the U.S. imperialists in the mourning period. This is touching off towering wrath and resentment of the army and people of the DPRK as it is thrice-cursed high treason committed against the fellow countrymen in profound grief.

How can the DPRK show good faith to such group which is leveling guns at compatriots, discarding even elementary etiquette as human beings, to say nothing of the consciousness as compatriots?

Whoever has sound reason will clearly realize without any explanation why the inter-Korean relations were brought to such catastrophic phase though they had developed into reconciliation, unity and reunification and who on earth is to blame for such tragic situation.

The group's noisy anti-DPRK smear campaign is nothing but its last-ditch efforts to calm down the south Koreans' protest and condemnation of it and divert public attention elsewhere in a bid to evade the blame for having bedeviled the inter-Korean relations and turn the situation in the election in its favor and thus get rid of the predicament.

With neither anti-DPRK smear campaign nor desperate efforts can the group escape a stern judgment by history.
