Rodong Sinmun Saturday observes in a bylined commentary in this regard:

The cock-and-bull story talked by Lee fully betrays his long-harbored intention to achieve the "unification of social systems".

"Reform and opening" touted by Lee without dropping the said intention is nothing but the shriek made by him, much upset by the frustration of his hope for certain change in the north.

A snake casts skin but does not drop its nature. The Lee Myung Bak group of traitors remains unchanged in its inveterate bad habit of seeking confrontation of social systems and working hard to realize ambition to invade the north.

The years of Lee in office are characterized by his malignant invectives against the north, ceaseless political and military provocations and anti-north war hysteria.

Still fresh in the memory of the compatriots in the north are the most hideous atrocities perpetrated by the group of traitors. It leveled guns at the compatriots grieving over the untimely loss of the father of the nation and worked hard to realize its scenario for achieving the "unification of social systems" while foolishly anticipating "a contingency."

Lee Myung Bak is a wicked man without an equal in the world as he has neither face nor qualification to talk about noble feelings of human beings.

He should bear deep in mind that his scenario for leading the north to "reform and opening" is nothing but a fantastic daydream.
