I know the Navy and AF have resources at the ready. And I mean AT THE READY.

Now THIS could be the test Biden was talking about. Did Obama tell our forces to stand down or what?

I'm betting he votes "present".

Gates flat out said that we would not shoot it down. He was on Chris wallace's show last week and said if it was aimed at Hawaii we might consider shooting it down. Might consider.

SecDef Gates said last week, we are not prepared to respond militarily to the NK launch. It was already decided by Obama and announced, we would not contest the issue.

Crisis

Hey Joe -- you called it, brother! Actually, just a little more than 3 months.

So what's BO's response to this "major international crisis" going to be?
a) A finger-wagging admonishment
b) a trillion-dollar ransom payment to N. Korea to "cease hostilities"
c) surrender

Quite some time ago he or his spokesbot said we would not take any military action, but would protest at the UN.

I'm sure that statement had the Chia Head wetting his pants. :(
