U.S. Fortifies Hawaii to Meet Threat From Korea

By YOCHI J. DREAZEN

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. is moving ground-to-air missile defenses to Hawaii as tensions escalate between Washington and Pyongyang over North Korea's recent moves to restart its nuclear-weapon program and resume test-firing long-range missiles.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates said on Thursday that the U.S. is concerned that Pyongyang might soon fire a missile toward Hawaii. Some senior U.S. officials expect a North Korean test by midsummer, even though most don't believe the missile would be capable of crossing the Pacific and reaching Hawaii.

Mr. Gates told reporters that the U.S. is positioning a sophisticated floating radar array in the ocean around Hawaii to track an incoming missile. The U.S. is also deploying missile-defense weapons to Hawaii that would theoretically be capable of shooting down a North Korean missile, should such an order be given, he said.

"We do have some concerns if they were to launch a missile to the west, in the direction of Hawaii," Mr. Gates said. "We are in a good position, should it become necessary, to protect American territory."

OThuga probably has some marble sized cajones.

They could take him out much more selectively, if they wanted . . . probably half a dozen different ways.

If you think this is bad, just wait. Obama is a fool and our enemies know it. (Think of hungry tigers circling the campfire, licking their chops.)

I meant the locals in South Korea. It might be interesting to get their thoughts on the subject.

I thought the newest, most active branch of the USAF was Space Command.

The ball is in their court, lets see if the hardware really works.

their dream of immolating our nation and all of our citizens in a pillar of fire

They really don't want to nuke the entire country... just the coasts. We have some of the most fertile food-producing land in the world. They'll need that.
