The Gargoyle has truly lost it, folks. Are you paying attention to all of this? According to Japanese intelligence officers, North Korea may launch a long-range ballistic missile towards Hawaii. Not only that ... but this crazy bastard says he's going to launch that missile on July 4th, our Independence Day. Nice touch, don't you think?
Can the Gargoyle's missile reach Hawaii? Prolly not. The main Hawaiian islands are 4,500 miles from North Korea. These Taepoodung-2 missiles are capable of traveling up to 4,000. But that's not really the point, is it? If they're intentionally aimed at Hawaii that pretty much puts the foam on the latte for me.
What are going to do? Defense Secretary Robert Gates has ordered the military to take defensive measures if North Korea launches that missile toward Hawaii. Gates says, "I think we are in a good position, should it become necessary, to protect American territory."
OK .. hold on just a goll-durned minute here. "Good position?" You know, somehow I was looking for a bit more than that. How about "can?" I want to hear that we CAN protect American territory. Last time I looked we had the greatest, most powerful military in the world. I know we elected Obama for change .. but I didn't want to see us change from a position where we "can" protect our interests (like our 50th state) to where we're in a "good position" to do so
Meanwhile, in the middle of this provocation the North Korean menace has warned of a "thousand-fold" military retaliation again the US and our allies if provoked. So here's your Playbill. This twerp says he's going to fire off a missile towards Hawaii, and he then warns us of the dangers that wait if we dare to provoke him.
You need to remember something here folks. The last time Li'l Satan fired off a missile the very next day ... and I'm talking with 24 hours my friends ... Mr. Change You Can Believe in announced a reduction in funding for our missile defense system.
Even if you're government educated you can figure out just what sort of message that sent to this North Korean prepuce.
Let's talk about this 4th of July thing a bit more. I'll bet you that more Americans have their panties in a wad about their local government canceling their fireworks show than they do about this situation with North Korea; or, for that matter, with the level of government spending in Washington. Then there's Obama's newfound power to nationalize private companies.
To most Americans, freedom means the ability to choose which movie to watch on a Friday night and which magazine they should buy at the grocery store - US Weekly or People. That is the pathetic excuse for the type of freedom these people now claim to celebrate once a year. Yeah, I know I'm a bit early for the Fourth of July rant ..........
Stay tuned.
The last long range missile made it half way to hawaii
He does like tweaking our nose on our holidays. One of the missile tests was July 4 2006 I believe.
The right thing to do is, when the missile it launched, announce it as an act of war, and take out the NK facility.
But we know that won't happen. We may settle into a routine where North Korea regularly launches missiles at Hawaii.
"No big deal, it hit the water 500 miles from Hawaii."
"No big deal, it hit the water 400 miles from Hawaii."
"No big deal, it hit the water 300 miles from Hawaii."
"No big deal, it hit the water 200 miles from Hawaii."
"No big deal, it hit the water 100 miles from Hawaii."
the response from President WNY would be: if this missile even loks like it might come within 500 miles of ANY American airspace, the launch facilty will not be there 24 hours later
I call BS. Let’s see if this guy is nuts.
The Founders did not consider term limits necessary as they believed the American people would overthrow any tyrant or criminal. That was part of the reason for our right to keep and bear arms...the means to bring down a dictator. Too bad the founders couldn’t will us any of their “sacred honor!”
Right. But they are in a testing mode for this missle. They just kind of point it, fire it up and hope for the best. It could go 10 miles or 5,000. It is a test firing. They seem to be using Hawaii as the end point of their testing range. Isn’t that somewhat provocative?
bttt
The proper response to any missile launch should be: “If your missile hits one square inch of American territory, your capital will be immediately incinerated.”
I read the headline and thought first of James Carville. LOL
That was exactly the attitude toward the Japanese back in the early 1920s when General Billy Mitchell turned in his analysis of the brewing situation in the Pacific; giving almost a precise plan -- time, place, method of attack, etc. -- of the Pearl Harbor attack.
In fact, all the time is a good time to have a president with a set of balls.
Don’t expect it from this president.
I think this is all some ruse orchestrated by Zero.
It may be the “major international crisis” that Plugs alluded to prior to the usurpation.
Zero’s going to make us all soooooooooo proud!
