I'd have said this is about the Korean missile but the Alaska ABM base isn't on the list.

>Patrick air force base in Florida.

Nothing much there. An Air-Sea Rescue unit, some support for the Cape, not much.

I heard that the meteor might hit North Korea! ...more beer.

The Alpha, Bravo, etc alert system has to do with the physical security of the base, and precautions in admitting personnel onto the base, NOT with whatever mission operations takes place within that installation. So this would not have to do with whats going on in NK, but may be in response to terrorist threat assessment or local area threat (ie enviro-nut) concerns.

The Liberals have convinced Kim Jong Il that America is weak and can only focus on one thing at a time. Therefore as the Asteroid approaches he thinks he might be able to get a shot off.....

Plausible.

It is likely that it IS in response to the N.K. BS.

If Alaska isn't on alert, we must not think it's headed that way.

Is term "NORAD" an acronym. If so what does it stand for?

I always get that bad feeling when the Mountain is at full alert. Does anybody know if it is the US General in charge this year or the Chanuk?
