Taepodong-2 pointed at waters near Hawaii: report
(Kyodo) _ The Taepodong-2 long-range missile recently test-fired by North Korea was pointed at waters near Hawaii, the Sankei Shimbun reported Friday in its online edition.
Citing government sources in Japan and the United States, the report said Japan's Defense Agency and the U.S. military reached the conclusion after analyzing the missile's path from data collected by Aegis-equipped destroyers and RC-135S electronic reconnaissance aircraft.
The missile was test-fired from its launching site in Musudanri in northeast North Korea early Wednesday local time before landing into the Sea of Japan about several hundred kilometers away.
The authorities decided that the missile was pointed at Hawaii from the angle of its nose cone immediately after the launch and the altitude it has reached, the report said.
The distance between North Korea and Hawaii is about 7,000 kikometers. While Taepodong-2 was widely believed to have the firing range of 3,500-6,000 km, its actual range can be longer, the report said.
It is not clear why North Korea targeted areas near Hawaii, but the sources believe North either wanted to show that the missile's firing range includes the United States, or because Hawaii is home to the headquarters of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, or because the missile could mistakenly hit a land area if fired toward Alaska, the report said.
That's why when the dummy says something you don't like, you shoot the ventriloquist.
The Articles of Surrender Apply, Zenith,Motorola,RCA,or JVC?

Yep, for any interval I of the real line, real variable t, and any Lebesgue integrable function f as t approaches infinity, the integral of f(x)e^itx dx = 0.
But that is not my interest. My interest is in the result of nought carry nought, as tought in the Jethero Bodine skool of mathematics.
Japan has been well behaved for 60+ years, NK hasn't.
I love the crap attack that the Chicomms and Even the Soviets would have at the prospect of an armed rising sun.
the reports of a Japanese P-3 dropping sonar for NK pocket subs is probably true too...
Read my response to this thread! Pleasure.... :^)

Madeline Albright on Larry King Live
'As further evidence that appeasers transcend time and common sense, Wednesday evening on Larry King Live, Madeline Albright stated that we shouldn't make fun of North Korea for its Taepodong 2 missile failure because it "just eggs them on."
That gem recalls Neville Chamberlain's ominous statement when asked, in 1937, whether Britain would confront Hitler. Mr. Chamberlain responded that he wouldn't want to "anger Herr Hitler."
The childlike simplicity that her comment conjures reflects the epitome of the left's utter incapacity to look evil in the eye. Indeed, they don't stare down the enemy they look past it, because for them it truly doesn't exist--until it spontaneously strikes with such a barbarous ferocity that it momentarily shocks them to a fully awakened state. At that point, which was last documented after 9/11, they register horror and disbelief at the profound savagery of the enemy. Concurrently, they cast a deep, self-indicting inward glance, convinced as they are that we must have done something to provoke them.
So it is with our former Secretary of State whose track record with North Korea is, to be charitable, spotty. The question is, which political soothsayers are the Democratic candidates listening to?'

Well then, that's kind of scary.

It should be.
Plenty remember the drill, very few can probably practice it. ;)
Well when they can get 11k km I'll start practicing. That's what Google maps show for me.
< ducking>
Very good point. I been asking the same. Maybe Kimmy is dying and decided to fire away.
