Rodong Sinmun Monday in a bylined article lays bare the reason why the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors has become more frantic in its political and military conspiracy and tie-up with foreign forces with its office drawing to an end.

It goes on:

By clinging to the coattails of foreign forces, the Lee group seeks to escape a stern judgment by history for its unpopular rule, scandals, failed confrontation policy, etc. and realize its scenario for ensuring the conservative regime's stay in power by creating "security crisis" and finally ignite a war against the DPRK.

National cooperation leads to genuine patriotism as it brings peace and reunification. But insisting on the cooperation with foreign forces, opposed to it, is an unpardonable treachery escalating confrontation and bringing a war.

The Lee group's cooperation with foreign forces is little short of aiding the U.S. watching for a chance to swallow up the whole of the Korean Peninsula and the rest of Northeast Asia. Such cooperation is the source of escalating the tension on the peninsula and imposing disasters of a nuclear war upon the Korean nation.

The ultimate aim of the Lee group's conspiracy and tie-up with the U.S. is to invade the DPRK.

The dignity and sovereignty of the south Korean people are being ruthlessly trampled down and the danger of a nuclear war is increasing on the peninsula day by day owing to the Lee group's reckless acts of betraying the country and the nation as lackeys of foreign forces in carrying out their policy for invading the DPRK.

The Lee group's ever-closer cooperation with foreign forces would only precipitate its ruin, the article concludes.
