The long-range rocket North Korea launched in April could be converted into a ballistic missile that can theoretically hit half the United States with a substantial payload, two U.S. physicists have concluded from their joint study.

North Korea launched on April 5 what it claims was a rocket designed to carry a satellite into orbit. The U.S. and its allies say nothing entered orbit, calling the "Unha-2" rocket a disguised form of a ballistic missile capable of flying over 6,700 kilometers.

Where in the hell are they getting all the money for this? Common sense says China or Russia.

Well, dear leader is far less interested in blasting Kansas than he is Los Angeles so this little bit of “hope and change” should be puckering up the population there ... should, but won’t.

They’d need dozens to destroy us. How many of ours will it take to do them? ‘Bout three. One if it’s fired first.

[freedumb2003]

Which half of the scientists can they hit?

[OCC]

With a CEP of 1,000 miles.

[Huebolt]

How many of ours will it take to do them?

You forget that OsamaObamaLammaDingDong is going to UNILATERALLY DISARM these United States of ALL non-green weapons? That’s goodbye nukes!

All it would take is about 3 exploded high up to EMP the US west of the Mississippi.

We need to pressure our Representatives to fully fund missile defense. That is the fastest way to render these weapons obsolete.

[Costumed Vigilante]

Which half of the scientists can they hit?

The global warming believers?

[FreeAtlanta]

That would be one way to wipe out all the mortgage and credit card debt.

Nine of the top 10 lenders were in California, one of the states badly affected by the housing crisis that emerged after a surge in lending to riskier, or subprime, borrowers, many of whom were forced to foreclose.
