THE CHONAM NAVAL DISASTER by KFA Naval Correspondent.
The south Korean puppet regime of Lee Myung Bak,which is totally dependent
on the US,raising a hullabloo over the tragic sinking of its warship the
Chonam in disputed waters in the West Sea of Korea.Even though the south
Korean puppet defence minister himself stated "but there is a possibility
that this case would remain indefinitely unresolved due to a lack of
physical evidence"
The south Korean rulers have tried to blame the DPRK for the incident and there has been wild talk of military retaliation and the likelihood of another 'sanctions' campaign against the DPRK.Given the seriousness of the allegation you would think they would have better evidence than vague talk of an external explosion and James Bond style stories about midget submarines, submersible craft and suicide squads.
The south Korean authorities admit "Up to now, no other
debris -- except the warship wreckage -- have been found," clearly if it was a mine or a torpedo fragments of it would have been found by now.Moreover no DPRK vessels or submarines were detected near the Chonam on the day of the sinking.It is an allegation without real evidence,all circumstanial.
This is most likely to have been tragic accident caused by the incompetence of the south Korean puppets.For example setting the wrong time delay on a depth charge would have blown up the Chonam instead of its intended target.A more sinister possiblity is that it was a false flag/black ops operation staged by the CIA and South Korean NIS.

Military Commentator Denies Involvement in
Ship Sinking
Pyongyang, April 17 (KCNA) -- A military commentator Saturday issued an
article disclosing the truth about the "story about linkage with the
north" floated by the south Korean group of traitors.

There occurred an accident in which "Chonan", 1 400 ton-warship of the
south Korean puppet navy, sank all of a sudden in the waters between
Paekryong Island and Taechong Island in the West Sea of Korea at night of
March 26, the article said, and went on:

Though the sunken large ship belongs to the south side, we have so far
regarded the accident as a regretful accident that should not happen in
the light of the fact that many missing persons and most of rescued
members of the crew are fellow countrymen forced to live a tiresome life
in the puppet army.

Failing to probe the cause of the sinking of the ship, the puppet military
warmongers, right-wing conservative politicians and the group of
other
traitors in south Korea are now foolishly seeking to link the accident
with the north at any cost.

At the outset of the accident the group asserted that no sign of intrusion
of the north' submarine was spotted by their so-called "water-tight"
maritime caution and round-the-clock radar monitoring and sound detection
system.

But after making a U turn from their earlier stand that there should be no
foregone conclusion as regards the accident, the group started floating
the "story about the linkage with the north".

Traitor Lee Myung Bak said that one should not carelessly utter that the
north is linked with the accident at its beginning. But from some days ago
he began making a spate of accusations against the north while blustering
that it is necessary to "probe the accident without a shred of suspicion
on the premise of the possible linkage with the north", "thoroughly cope
with the movement
of the north" and "south Korea will resolutely counter"
the north if the cause of the accident is finally confirmed.

The gentries of "Chongwadae", though they asserted that "there was slim
possibility of the north's attack," are now taking an attitude that they
are not ruling out the "story about the linkage with the north," jabbering
that the testimonies of the survivors and the conditions of the sunken
ship suggest a large possibility that the ship was hit hard from outside.

The military warmongers are getting more undisguised in their moves to
link the accident with the north though it was caused by their fault.

Disclosing the aim sought by the group in the above-said behavior, the
article continued:

It is prompted by its ulterior intention to get rid of the worst ruling
crisis caused by the "state management failure".

If public opinion is built to claim that the accident occurred due to
"an
internal factor" and its cause is not properly clarified, the group of
traitors will be held directly responsible for it and, accordingly, will
not be able to escape a heavy defeat in the forthcoming "June 2 local
elections". This will lead to the split of the conservative camp including
the "Grand National Party" and the weakening of its ruling power, throwing
the group into an inescapable predicament.

Another sinister aim sought by the puppet regime in floating the
above-said story is to justify the persistent and anachronistic policy
towards the DPRK and shirk the blame for having driven the inter-Korean
relations to the worst crisis.

It is a well-known fact that from the outset of its office the group of
traitors has persistently pursued the inter-Korean confrontation,
insisting that "the north dismantle its nukes first."

People from all walks of life in south Korea are now becoming
evermore
vocal critical of the wrong policy pursued by the group towards the north,
blatantly challenging the demand of the times and the desire of the
nation.

It is against this backdrop that the group is hyping the "story about
linkage with the north" in a bid to flee from the responsibility for
having deteriorated the north-south relations and justify their mean
policy toward the north with the sinking of its warship as a momentum.

The ruckus kicked up by the puppet authorities while peddling the story is
designed to stir up the atmosphere of international sanctions against the
north and increase pressure upon it in various aspects.

The group of traitors is zealously supporting its American master in his
moves to bring down the system in the DPRK, while trying to give
impression that the U.S.-led sanctions are proving effective.

This group is making desperate efforts to block the general
advance of the
north toward the eminence of a great prosperous and powerful nation.

Herein lies another sinister aim sought by the group of traitors in
floating the nonsensical "story about the linkage with the north."

It is a trite trick of the stupid to hatch plots and stoop to any infamy
under that pretext whenever they are driven into a tight corner.

The group of traitors would be well advised to face up to the trend of the
times and refrain from uttering any word as it please
