Minju Joson Sunday observes in a bylined commentary in this regard:

The Lee Myung Bak group of traitors is kicking off a hysteric racket, blinded with its ambition for invading the DPRK in the wake of its announcement of the "missile guidance agreement".

There looms as a reality the outbreak of a new war, a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula, the one of the biggest hotspots in the world.

The puppet group's frantic moves for igniting a war against the DPRK are a product of its conspiracy with the U.S. The U.S. is the real ruler of south Korea and the Lee group is no more than a puppet executing the U.S. colonial rule. It is under the U.S. backing that the Lee group is getting so crazy in its moves to ignite the war.

The present U.S. rulers said more than once that it has no hostile intent on the DPRK. But this is no more than a deceptive intrigue to mislead public opinion at home and abroad. It has been disclosed recently that the U.S. is working out together with the group "a joint plan for coping with a local war". The U.S. is becoming all the more undisguised in its moves to do harm to the DPRK by force of arms.

The DPRK will bolster war deterrent for self-defence to cope with the prevailing situation. As clarified in a statement of a spokesman for the DPRK National Defence Commission, all service personnel and people of the DPRK will wipe out all the U.S. imperialist aggressors, the sworn enemy of the Korean people, and the Lee group of traitors, their stooges, to the last man and conclude a great war for national reunification with a final victory.
