Lee Myung Bak Group's Acts of Treachery Assailed
Pyongyang, March 7 (KCNA) -- The Lee Myung Bak group of traitors in the "2008 White Paper on Defense," the first of its kind published since it came to power, claimed that the DPRK is a "direct and serious threat" to south Korea. Minju Joson Saturday observes in a signed commentary in this regard: This is an act of treachery committed by the warmongers hell-bent on confrontation with compatriots and the moves for a war of aggression against the DPRK.

The commentary cites facts to prove that it is none other than the U.S. and south Korean puppets who are posing a direct and serious threat to the peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula.

The mission of the revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK is to defend the peace and security of the Korean Peninsula and sovereignty and dignity of the nation, the commentary notes, and goes on:

The revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK are tasked to deal merciless blows at any aggressor seeking to infringe upon the sovereignty and dignity of the nation and serve as a treasured sword guaranteeing a happy and stable life of the people.

Had the DPRK not bolstered up the revolutionary armed forces under the banner of Songun, a war would have broken out on the Korean Peninsula a hundred times.

The groundless charge brought by the Lee group of traitors against the DPRK is only aimed at stepping up the preparations for a war of aggression against it under that pretext.

The group is made up of warmongers who are not interested in the national reconciliation and unity at all but only seek confrontation with compatriots and a war of aggression against the DPRK.

Durable peace can never settle on the Korean Peninsula but military tension will increase day by day and, furthermore, all the fellow countrymen will fall victim to a disastrous nuclear war unless such group of traitors are eliminated.

The revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK are closely following every move of the warmongers.

The revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK will deal unprecedentedly merciless and strong blows at the aggressors should they ignite a war of aggression against it.
