Rodong Sinmun Lauds Kim Jong Il's Songun Revolutionary Feats
Pyongyang, August 22 (KCNA) -- The Songun revolutionary feats performed by leader Kim Jong Il serve as a lifeline of the country and the nation and wealth of eternal value for Kim Il Sung's nation, says Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in a byline article.

The article deals with the Songun revolutionary feats performed by Kim Jong Il.

It goes on:

He paved an ever-victorious path with his rare wisdom through his energetic ideological and theoretical activities.

He laid down the philosophical principle that arms are essential for the revolution and clarified the original principle of Songun for the first time in history that the army means the party, the state and the people.

He comprehensively enforced the Songun politics and formulated it as a main political mode under socialism.

He developed the Korean People's Army into an invincible army and firmly defended the socialist country by bolstering up the country's defense capability as firm as an iron wall.

He brought about uninterrupted surge in the overall socialist construction with KPA as the core and a model.

He let the KPA play a vanguard's role and led the whole country to make a leaping advance in the soldiers spirit and with soldiers traits and mettle.

He led the KPA to successfully perform a pioneer's role not only in the defence of the country but in socialist construction in the whole period of his revolutionary leadership.

The KPA created a progressive way of thinking, stubborn fighting spirit and creative work style that meet the requirements of the new century and new culture in the era of Songun which makes the whole country seethe with revolutionary spirit and optimism under his Songun leadership.

He put forward the KPA as a pillar for creation and changes and translated the plan for building a thriving nation into a brilliant reality. These Songun revolutionary feats of Kim Jong Il will last forever.
