He even patted the survivors of the sunken "Cheonan" warship case on the back, encouraging them to "make thousand-fold retaliation, regarding it as a golden opportunity".

In this regard, Rodong Sinmun Thursday says in a by-lined commentary:

This is sheer sophism that can be made only by those who are obsessed with confrontation with fellow countrymen.

Lurking behind those remarks are the vicious attempts to make the public accept the will of all the servicepersons and the people of the DPRK for retaliation as a "provocation", further fan up the atmosphere of confrontation with the DPRK and unleash a war against the DPRK.

In the face of the DPRK's strong will to launch a merciless and sacred war of retaliation, traitor Jong is foolishly running amuck to prolong his remaining days by using running dogs as a bullet-shield.

It was so ridiculous for him to talk about "a golden chance" and "thousand-fold retaliation".

Once the sacred war starts, the group of traitors will not be given even time to regret for its wrongdoings. If there be any, that is an opportunity of self-destruction.

Traitors Lee Myung Bak, Kim Kwan Jin and Jong Sung Jo are the first targets of the precision strikes to be mounted by the DPRK.
