During his recent visit to China Lee recklessly cried out for "close counter-action" and "effective reaction" at the talks, claiming that the north's nuclear test and "additional provocation" should not be allowed under any circumstances.

He made desperate efforts to include a paragraph pulling up the DPRK in a joint statement. He was busy going different places to let loose invectives against the DPRK.

The spate of vituperation let loose by the traitor even in China, not content with the hideous high treason committed by him in south Korea clearly shows what die-hard confrontation maniac he is and what wicked and despicable traitor he is.

It is known to everybody who provoked compatriots in violation of the June 15 joint declaration and who sparked a series of provocations in the West Sea of Korea and who hurt even the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK, not content with those provocations, bringing the north-south relations to a total collapse.

It is brazen-faced and ridiculous, indeed, for such chieftain of hideous provocations to accuse someone of "provocations."

Great irony is that Lee conducted such mean diplomacy in a foreign country to garner support though he is more dead than alive, repudiated even by his confidants after being cursed and denounced at home for all sorts of evils and scandals.

He was in such embarrassing position with no one to rely upon that he behaved so disgustingly abroad.

No matter how noisily he may trumpet about someone's "provocations" outside south Korea, not feeling ashamed of his deplorable position there, it will get him nowhere.

His vociferation about someone's "provocations" and the like would only arouse disgust among world people.

The desperate efforts of rat-like Lee will only precipitate his doomsday.
