NK is getting a bit uppity. Maybe we should have some fun and help Japan arm itself..

My bottle rockets on the 4th stayed airborne longer than that!

Perhaps he wants to surrender to the US and get aid, kind of like The Mouse That Roared.

I think that's a Jewish missle ;-)

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. A simplier answer: They can get maximum range with a direct easterly launch, taking advantage of the Earth's rotation to supply a little extra throw. Because the Earth is round, a great circle tangent to east at the latitude of Korea would pass near Hawaii, accounting for the fact that the Earth would rotate about five degrees of longitude during it's flight.

...and passes over the southern sea of japan. The missile was fired from further north, and WENT north...no way it was heading south.
Are you making a joke, and I am just to dense to see it?

Are you implying we'll have to rebuild NK?
To: DoughtyOne
That is a FALL OUT shelter.
Fall out shelters were to protect you from radioactive fallout, not a nuclear blast.

Maybe the Iranians wanted some proof that their money was being well spent. I can't imagine that their observers in NK were too impressed with the launch. I'd hate to be the NK engineer in charge of the project right now (if he's still among the living). When Iranians are involved, the fear is the failures were intentional - Iranians looking for our interference and/or response or some such. Iranians love strategy for it's own sake - when they're involved, nothing is as it seems. That said, the N.Korean failures were most likely incompetence...

yea i heard that too while listening to Hannity and Colmes. I was under the impression these threats to fire additional missles were only the shorter range scud/nodong/T-1, but it sounds like they might be thinking about another T-2 launch and when you take that bit of news with this news about the 1st T-2 launch being direct towards Hiwaii . . . could be a long night

That's why people always want to fight us; they get a free homemakeover ;-)
