Aloha, 'star wars': Obama bluffs on defending Hawaii
The Washington Times ^ | June 29, 2009 | Editorial

Posted on 06/28/2009 10:01:14 PM PDT by Abakumov

The Obama administration seized headlines June 18 when the Defense Department stated that the United States would deploy ground- and sea-based missile-defense assets to protect Hawaii. This was a response to North Korea's threat to launch a long-range missile on July 4 toward the islands. However, new information suggests that the administration is bluffing and our defenses are inadequate to get the job done.

Just like 0, yet his job of destroying the US looks like it is unstoppable.

Of course our defenses (star wars) are inadequate to protect Hawaii or Alaska or anybody else from N.Korea gone mad.

Zero’s Marxist predecessors have managed to slow its development down over the years and HE WANTS missile defense ENDED ANYWAY.

It’s another version of what the Dems like to call “The Securing of America” under their madness. Similar to the Cap and Tax us into oblivion economically and “security” act that 244 House Dems and 8 Traitor Repubs just passed.....ironically on the same day Michael We are the World Jackson died.

Obama has no intention of defending the United States against any enemy - foreign or domestic.

Zero is going to have to get off of the ‘deeply troubled and deeply concerned’ pedestal if he's going to actually DO anything to stop the aggressors in this world. But maybe he doesn't want to stop the aggressors. I am ‘deeply troubled and deeply concerned’ that Zero is our CIC. God help us.

Okay. I'll offer myself up on this one.

Seriesly. Nobody truly believes North Korea will fire a missile upon Hawaii.

Right?

I know, I know, I know. Nobody truly believed Hitler would invade Poland or Japan would bomb Pearl Harbor but, c'mon, those countries actually had war-making capabilities.

Kim Jung Mentally-Il has no such capabilities. He has one bullet. Ubama would HAVE to respond overwhelmingly.

Right?

Anybody with me?

It’s in his “agreement” isn’t it? Oh, wait, he screwed up the presidential oath at the inauguration and had to do it over again....behind closed doors. God knows what he swore to.

If the PRK manages to convert the beautiful Hawaiian Islands into mounds of glowing green glass, then the COLB argument becomes moot.

Would you defend Hawaii? What better way to hide the evidence?

Kenyans take note. You better hide your evidence, or there could be a similar “accident” in your vicinity.

Wanna bet your life on that presumption? Personally, I believe that the First Thug was celebrating in kindred spirit with the Palestinian Animals on 09.11.2001.

Therefore, he has no interest in defending America; he's more interested in becoming King of the World. Remember, he flubbed his Oath Of Office back on 1/20/09.

“Justification for the cuts was led by Rep. Ellen O. Tauscher, California Democrat, who is the newly confirmed undersecretary of state for arms control and international security. Ms. Tauscher will play a major role in missile-defense policy.”

Send in the clowns

By the time Menatlly-Il has a missile capable of reaching California we will know whether or not Ubama will respond based on what happens in Hawaii so my life is not immediately in danger.

That may very well be but if NK lobs a missile at Hawaii and Ubama doesn't respond. There is absolutely, positively no way he remains Pres--ent.

Which means we get Biden, but still....

That's actually a very interesting point!
