Rodong Sinmun on Patriotic Songun Politics
Pyongyang, November 8 (KCNA) -- The Songun politics serves as a great banner for the nation as it promotes the advance of the June 15 era of reunification, says Rodong Sinmun Saturday in a signed article.

It goes on:

The national reunification policy of the Workers' Party of Korea for achieving the sovereignty and unity of the nation and national prosperity is based on the Songun politics.

The Songun politics means the politics of national independence to establish the sovereignty of the nation throughout Korea and ensure the victorious advance of the cause of national reunification and patriotic politics as it helps protect peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and encourages all the compatriots to accomplish the cause of the country's reunification.

The Korean nation could greet the June 15 era of reunification thanks to the great Songun politics relying on the invincible revolutionary armed forces. The adoption of the north-south joint declaration and its vitality provide a clear testimony to the patriotic nature of the Songun politics as it reflects the Koreans' faith in the advantages of the nation and their pride in them and their unshakable will and grit to achieve reunification and prosperity by their concerted efforts.

The Songun politics, a treasured sword for preserving peace, is instilling high national pride and self-esteem into all the compatriots in the north and the south and overseas, thereby helping all of them unite close under the banner of "By our nation itself." Koreans from all walks of life in the south and overseas feel highly proud of the Songun politics of the DPRK which prevents even the U.S. styling itself the world's "only superpower" from daring attack it. They are, therefore, replete with confidence and will to reunify the country and usher in a new era of national prosperity without fail if all the compatriots go united.

The Lee Myung Bak group is making desperate efforts to bring back the June 15 era of reunification to the past era of confrontation in collusion with the U.S. imperialists but they will get it nowhere.

Only victory and glory are in store for the Korean nation advancing under the banner of Songun.
