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. People of Hawaii, do not fear. Most U.S. officials think the missile probably can't reach Hawaii. Probably.
And, if Chia Head's going to do it, now's a good time, because within the next few years we probably won't have missile defense systems capable of protecting you.

Wonder if Hussein would consider a ballistic missile fired at Hawaii as an act of war?
Probably not.

People of Hawaii, do not fear. Should the dastardly missile actually hit you, 0bama will send a strongly worded message to the UN. You have his word on that.

Hawaii he cares about.

Sure miss the pre-emptive Bush doctrine. I wonder if we’ll have to mirandize the Chia pet before we shoot back?

Of course not, especially if it is a mile short.

From the article:
“The Obama administration, meanwhile, would have to choose whether to attempt to shoot down the missile, a technically complicated procedure with no guarantee of success. An American failure would embarrass Washington, embolden Pyongyang and potentially encourage Asian allies like Japan to take stronger measures of their own against North Korea.”
So shoot several missiles! DUH !!!!
(like that will happen! We don’t want to meddle.)

He’s reading Jimmy Carter’s memoirs for inspiration....

I think he would. An attack by NK would allow him to fully disengage from the middle east to fight the “real” enemy (which he will blame on Bush).
This is the moment he and his muslim brothers have been waiting for—a limited nuclear war between the infidels.

What if the NORKs shoot at and miss Hawaii? Will we then give them our missile technology? This may be a foolish question, but with the present occupant of the WH anything can happen.

Palin is going to be on her own if they point their ding dong at Alaska. Obama probably is hoping that Wasilla gets nuked -- Obama is probably inviting it.

Can somebody explain WHY we’re even going to let this happen?

That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Only a dummy could assume that NK does not have the capability to even reach New York. Don't assume anything or we just might get our a@@ hurt.
