an aberrant missile, one that was headed for Hawaii, that looked like it was headed for Hawaii or something like that, we might consider it,

But on the other hand....

Well, Hawaii.
I guess if there is a missile headed your way, you are lucky that BHO might consider doing something about it.

One must ask themselves this question:

Why would one communist gov’t shoot down a missile fired by another communist gov’t?

We are at peril as long as we are so political, who is to say this test doesn’t have a warhead on it? China runs N. Korea, Iran runs hezbollah, Russia plays them both and they play us..

US to N. Korea, because we do not know your true intentions, missle test which are aimed at any properties of the US will be met with immediate action..
I guess we will wait until they are nuking us.

“one that was headed for Hawaii, that looked like it was headed for Hawaii or something like that, we might consider it”

MIGHT??? What is wrong with these people???

And telling an enemy that we’re not prepared to do something about their missile launch is not really a good thing to say....

It looks we’re going to have to rely on the Japanese to shoot it down....

If Hawaii gets nuked it might end the COLB debate once and for all... no evidence left.

Obama is fervently hoping it will hit either Hawaii or Alaska with the hope it takes out his supposed COLB or Sarah Palin.

What other national security challenges are we “not prepared to do anything about?”

Iran’s nuclear program.

China’s bullying.

Russian threats.

The list goes on, and on.

Or, as our head of Homeland Security would call it, “another man-made disaster”.

Wonder if this is the “test” Biden was talking about. Didn’t he say something like, “It won’t seem like we’re doing the right thing....”

“...but once Alaska gets hit and America’s in a panic that’s when we can use the crisis to basically do anything we want....?”

Gates lamented the futility of diplomatic efforts toward North Korea and Iran, another nation with nuclear ambitions. Despite the Obama administration's talk of ramping up diplomatic overtures toward Tehran, Gates was pessimistic about that strategy.

start makin room under the bus....

Keep in mind Obama wants to scrap missile defense.

Gates as a former college president is gutless enough but here he is speaking the will of the master.

If Gates had any honor, he would resign in protest, saying, “The job Secretary of Defense has no meaning if we’re not going to take any actions in our own defense.”

But I guess the old saying “no honor among thieves” is operative here.

I kind of like the idea of some other country taking care of it.
