At the rally speakers expressed irrepressible resentment at the fact that the criminals who should be responsible for the "Cheonan" case are shamelessly blocking the probe into the truth about the case and kicking up a racket for a war of aggression against the DPRK.

They noted that the joint naval exercises are, to all intents and purposes, war maneuvers aimed at mounting a preemptive strike at the DPRK in view of their scale, nature, etc.

The said exercises in which even the Japan "Self-Defense Forces" are participating under the cloak of "visitors", in particular, once again lay bare the true colors of the Lee Myung Bak forces as bellicose elements, sycophants and traitors pushing forward the formation of the "triangular military alliance", they charged.

They stressed that they would struggle to the last against the joint military exercises of the warmongers further aggravating the situation on the Korean Peninsula.

That day the People for Achieving Peace and Reunification staged a demonstration condemning the joint military exercises before the puppet Ministry of National Defense and the south Korea-U.S. "Combined Forces Command".
