Japan warns that North Korea may fire missile at U.S. on Independence Day

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.

Think about it, every shot so far has failed, short. What if they kind of get it right, and they are bound to sooner or later. What if they set it for 4000 miles and it ends up at 4500, close to Honolulu? What would Obama do then?

Nothing.

Very well done.

Unfortunately, even if Obama used your exact words, he wouldn’t mean them and the world now knows that.

Strange isn’t it. You, an anonymous poster with a completely unknown life history can, within only 7 short paragraphs, demonstrate more wisdom and more credibility than a man holding what is supposed to be the most powerful office in the world.

Haha - Joke’s on them. We have thousands more liberal voters outside of Hawaii.

Joking aside though - the Hawaiians should immediately disarm to show the North Koreans that they’re no threat.

Or Hawaii should appeal to the UN. Maybe some tough sanctions are in order.

The last thing we need is more “cowboy diplomacy”. There is NO EVIDENCE that North Korea has a bomb. Just their threats - and we all know that the North Koreans are a bunch of liars.

(Hey left - how’s it feel being worried about your safety and having the other side call you “rednecks” and “intolerant”?????)

The Airborne Laser hasn’t even been tested yet, and the general consensus outside of the program and Boeing and Congressmen from districts where it is worked on is that it probably won’t work.

OBAMA:

Obviously I am again disturbed regarding North Korea’s continued development of missle technology is, along with their testing of nuclear weapons.

However, even more alarming is the inaccuracy of their systems. While we can’t stop North Korea’s development of weapons of Mass Destruction, nor of their missle technology - we CAN make these missle test safer.

I have instructed the Secretary of Defense to provide North Korea with our latest missle guidance technology so that future missle tests will be more accurate to avoid any excursions into United State’s territory. Former President Bill Clinton will be lending his experience in this transfer of technology as well.

It makes you wonder why there are flies in the White House and why that fly was hell bent on landing on him. After all, his own wife said he was “stinky”.

Obama is probably crapping his pants now, he cant buy off N Korea though he has tried.

Now he has to resort to another speech and try to getthem to calm down.

I bet money he is kneeling in prayer toward mecca 5 times a day now hoping Allah will guide him.
