Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says this in a bylined article.

It goes on:

The Lee Myung Bak group is becoming evermore reckless in its moves to escalate the confrontation with the north, antagonizing compatriots, utterly indifferent to the destiny of the country and the nation.

The Koreans can no longer overlook the fact that the confrontation racket of the Lee group more dead than alive is getting more frantic from the outset of the year, a grave threat to the destiny of the nation.

The group of traitors will never step down of their own accord.

All compatriots should turn out in the drive to beat the worst vicious maniacs hell-bent on confrontation and war.

All Koreans, be they in the north and the south and abroad, should come out in a dynamic struggle against the confrontation maniacs irrespective of ideology, social system, class and social stratum.

All fellow countrymen in the north and the south and abroad should wage a dynamic struggle against the anti-reunification forces full of firm confidence and optimism and thus unfailingly bring about a landmark turn in the drive for independent reunification, peace and prosperity this year.
