KCNA Blasts Former S. Korean Unification Minister
Pyongyang, March 13 (KCNA) -- Ryu U Ik, former "minister of Unification" of south Korea, who earned an ill fame as a trumpeter for traitor Lee Myung Bak's confrontation policy, has continued fiery rhetoric against the DPRK even after his retirement from his office.

In his retirement speech on March 11, he slandered the social system in the DPRK, saying it goes against the reason of the world.

An adage goes that where no shame is, there is no fear. Ryu's remarks are part of his anti-DPRK rhetoric aimed to cover up his treason of plunging the north-south ties into a complete deadlock.

Ryu is a top-class waiting maid who has long served Lee Myung Bak in his division and confrontation policy.

Ryu contributed to Lee's taking power by drafting "election" commitment proposals and speeches such deceptive "commitment to great canal of peninsula" and "Nadulsom plan".

For the past little more than one year after taking the post of the "minister of Unification", Ryu has continued confrontation rhetoric and moves. This was not just coincidental.

Those supporting the traitor were educated in contents opposing reunification and the "Unification Ministry" openly involved in the abduction of Koreans in the third country. This was all Ryu's brainchild.

He called for "flexible north policy" in words but, in actuality, he barred visits, contacts, cooperation and exchanges among NGOs, saying that "May 24 measure" can not be retracted. He made no scruple of agitating people not to make investment in the north even in foreign countries.

He turned down south Koreans' demand for Pyongyang visit to pay respects and share grief with northerners over the great loss to the nation, citing "May 24 measure". He even cried out for "military sanctions" against the fellow countrymen as part of his moves for standing in confrontation with the north to the last.

He also took the lead in the Lee Myung Bak's "unification jar" farce which was rejected as the jar of division and confrontation by south Koreans from all walks of life.

All facts prove that the north-south ties that were pushed to the lowest ebb since Lee's taking power are partly attributable to persistent and vicious machinations of Ryu and other sycophantic traitors.

It was quite natural that the south Koreans branded the "Unification Ministry" as the ministry of confrontation against unification and sentenced the Lee regime, hotbed of confrontation and division, to a political death.

Human scum Ryu is mistaken if he thinks he can evade the responsibility for the crime of deteriorating the north-south ties by making any base rhetoric.

The Korean nation will certainly settle accounts with Ryu as well as with Lee Myung Bak.
