North Korea may launch a long-range ballistic missile towards Hawaii on American Independence Day, according to Japanese intelligence officials.

The missile, believed to be a Taepodong-2 with a range of up to 4,000 miles, would be launched in early July from the Dongchang-ni site on the north-western coast of the secretive country.

Intelligence analysts do not believe the device would be capable of hitting Hawaii's main islands, which are 4,500 miles from North Korea.

Details of the launch came from the Japan's best-selling newspaper, Yomiuri Shimbun.

Both Japanese intelligence and U.S. reconnaissance satellites have collated information pointing to the launch, according to the report.

It will probably hit the place where the “birth certificate” is allegedly stored.

“Sorry folks. I was about to show you my birth certificate, but it got burned up in a nuclear explosion. Now, who wants free health care?”

What if they set it for 4000 miles and it ends up at 4500, close to Honolulu? What would Obama do then?

Give a speech?

“Yes, it’s “unproven.””

So is the Administration.

“hoping for San Francisco?”

Since it won’t support our military, in the next war San Franciso defends itself.

Why do I get the feeling that Obama will find the need for another European vacation around the 4th?

Great tagline!

The only thing we can do, is Obama should declare martial law and arrest all dissidents. (this means you!)

Surprised he didn’t catch it with his reptilian tongue?

The first president I can remember is Johnson, barely, and then Nixon, Ford and... Carter. < shudder> And then along came Reagan —thank God!

“and RahmE and Axelturf and....”

Oh yes cannot miss any of the Commies.

Much thanks. Nothing special with my resume, other than my wife and kids.

I think more people think like I do than admit it, they just don't hold office or get TV time.

Take care

What about all the whiz bang stuff that DARPA develops?

Why can’t the North Korean missile have a “technical malfunction” before or during launch?

[FDNYRHEROES]

The larger question here is, Will 0bamacare be in place when the missile hits Hawaii?

[FDNYRHEROES]

Well if you have two warheads, one headed for New York, one for Philadelphia, saving one city is better than losing two.

You're obviously not a Red Sox or Patriots fan...

It doesn’t take much to be brave against the Flyswatter in Chief.
