I thought we didn’t need that star wars crap?

Isn’t that what the left has been telling us for decades?

I assume S.Korea is on full alert and we are prepared to react accordingly(and then apologize for the miscommunication with the White House)

"Earlier this week, Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper reported that North Korea was planning to launch a long-range missile directed at Hawaii or US military bases in Japan and Guam."

KILL THEM and their missle/nuke capabilities. Yes, I know about all the artillary aimed at Seoul. But I say pre-emptive strike against this rogue regime and suffer the loss. North Korean government and missle/nuke growing capabilities need to be OBLITERATED yesterday.

And know, I don't care about collateral damage. Kill them all...RIGHT NOW! Before they can mass kill others or blackmail the West. KILL THEM!

My wife and children are more important to me than the entire country of North Korea. Deal with it.

We have nothing mobile to reliably intercept a nuclear tipped ICBM.

Besides, we don’t need missile defense.
The NYT said so.

I would prefer a carrier group off their coast.

The last time an Asian country attacked Hawaii it resulted in four years of war. This time it would result in four years of hand wringing apologies.

Why didn’t we have this defense system in place already? Why wait for a threat to put legitimate defensive systems on line?

[Tainan]

Target practice.

Get ‘em on the upward arc.

I have to wonder what the status of the Air Force’s Airborne Laser System is. Not that Obama would use it but, the ABL is supposed to be capable of shooting down missiles in their boost phase so the debris from the rocket falls back to earth over enemy territory. But either way, boost phase intercept or terminal phase intercept, Obama runs the risk of proving that SDI works and we can’t have that, now can we?
