Lee Myung Bak's Racket of Military Confrontation under Fire
Pyongyang, October 26 (KCNA) -- The desire of the Korean nation for reunification is now being chilled and the inter-Korean relations are being pushed to a phase of confrontation and war. This is chiefly attributable to the south Korean war maniacs' reckless racket of military confrontation. Rodong Sinmun today observes this in a by-lined article.

It goes on:

These moves for military confrontation are an inevitable product of the treacherous and anti-reunification confrontational policy of traitor Lee Myung Bak.

No sooner had Lee come to power than he blustered that it is the "main goal of the policy of national defence" to "make the north take a changed action" in the inter-Korean ties by use of "force."

His demeanor means an open declaration of head-on confrontation with fellow countrymen in opposition to reconciliation and cooperation with them. The Lee regime's "policy towards the north" is a policy of confrontation and war based on "military edge," in the final analysis.

The puppet military is putting spurs to bolstering up its armed forces and, at the same time, busy carrying out restructuring to boost the operation capability of the army, navy and air force.

The above-mentioned racket of military confrontation is a deliberate provocative action to check the advance of the June 15 era of reunification and drive the inter-Korean relations to collapse.

The Lee group is getting frantic in its war moves, regarding the DPRK as the "principal enemy," a partner for reconciliation and unity, and contemplating even a "preemptive strike." These reckless moves resulted in totally suspending the dialogues and cooperation between the north and the south which had been underway after the publication of the June 15 joint declaration, drove the military confrontation to the worst phase and rendered the situation so tense that a war may break out on the Korean Peninsula any moment.

Lee group's treacherous moves for military confrontation can never be tolerated as they stand in the way of the June 15 era of reunification, challenging the will and desire of the nation.

The Lee group is bound to meet a doom for getting frantic with the moves for military confrontation to do harm to the fellow countrymen, opposed to the nation and reunification.
