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.

Best line of the day
Maybe BO will have Hillary write a stern letter.

No, he’ll just cancel our missle defense systems.
Everyone knew President Bush 43 would nuke North Korea if it had to come to that so they knocked it off with their nonsense.
I was just thinking the other day about good ol’ Joe’s prediction/threat/assumption that his head pal UhBama would be “tested” “within 6 months”, and that the 6th month is July.
She can’t. She conveniently ruined her arm today.
Im deeply concerned.

We are not amused.
What would Obama do then?

Issue a statement that says “We are GRAVELY concerned.” Then go play another round of golf, which, btw, he sucks at.
“We are taking this seriously and are concerned, we are giving it our utmost attention.”
...but fortunately it will not interfer with date night.
LOL!
Then I wanna see some real fireworks.
Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
Are this armed or unarmed missles?
“How quick would the United States respond if North Korea attacked the United States?”
Is it 3 A.M. yet?
The solution for this is simple.
"Generated crisis"

A possible context for Joe Biden's words comes from an unexpected quarter. The VP nominee warned:
"Mark my words, it will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking... Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy." Joe Biden
Now watch this video. Yuri Bezmenov speaks of a required crisis for a Marxist Revolution to be successful; he should know. I believe we are in the middle of a Marxist Revolution in the United States. It is a peaceful revolution for now, but once the next generated crisis occurs, special powers will be granted to Barack Obama; and we will then have the beginnings of totalitarianism in America.
/Falls off the chair LMFAO
love this and it’s going into a viral email first thing tomorrow
How quick would the United States respond if North Korea attacked the United States?
Easy.
Within minutes Reid would surrender.
Murtha would make wild a$$ allegations of our Troops killing innocents in cold blood.
HS Janet Napolitano would order our countrys law enforcement agencies to arrest all citizens with military background, bible packers and those that have guns.
Obama would quickly find the nearest camera and proclaim that this attack was inherited from Bush and he would apologize to anyone that would listen.
Biden would be caught making farting noises into an open mike.
Pelosi would shout about how the mean republicans never informed her that WE even had nukes, let alone NK.
The next day our entire country would go out and put flags on their cars and claim to be patriots and shout, WE WILL NEVER FORGET.... Shortly thereafter, the flags will come down, conservatives will complain and dems will still suck.
So, other than the piles of broken stuff and dead body parts... not much will change.
I've always wondered about that. I would think the Joint Chiefs has some say, but then I don't know.
However, I do believe if we were nuked, and we knew who did it (which may not be determined with Iran/NK proliferation), would the CIC have the cojones to launch from our Tridents?
Our Trident submarines are the first and last best deterrent against the "reasonable" peoples of the world. Unfortunately, in this day, we are dealing with "unreasonable" entities who want their virgins and olives and some religious Imman to climb out of some well.
Iran's nuke capabilities need to be DESTROYED yesterday.
North Korea needs to be confronted, also. Yes, I know they have some thousands of artillery placements that could devastate Seoul, but think how worse it could be if they go nuclear.
You people who actually think that every Nation has a right to nuclear weapons are friggin idiots. I, personally, believe you who are okay with that, live in the backwoods somewhere. Otherwise, you would be VERY concerned about your neighbors going 10,000 degrees.
And yes, it could happen. It's only a matter of time if the West allows NK/Iran to give/sell their weapons to small radical entities.
