This is, however, nothing but confrontation hysteria of the maniacs lost to shame.

Minju Joson Tuesday says this in a bylined commentary.

The Yonphyong Island shelling incident is the case in which the group of traitors dared preempt shelling in defiance of the repeated warnings from the DPRK only to face deadly counter-blows, the commentary notes, and goes on:

The group painted its defeated battle as a "victorious one," quite unaware of world people's scorn. This behavior of the group self-exposed in the eyes of the world that the shelling case was a premeditated provocation perpetrated according to its scenario for a war against the north.

Clear is the aim sought by the Lee group in staging such confrontation farce, telling sheer lies.

It seeks to recover from its shameful defeat in the shelling incident and stoke consciousness of confrontation among south Koreans in a bid to create environment favorable for the conservative forces' stay in power.

It is the ulterior motive of the group to keep the conservative regime in office through the above-said ruckus.

Such desperate move of the group, however, only patently indicates who is the arch criminal driving the situation on the Korean Peninsula to the brink of war.
