North Korea Prepares to Launch Long-Range Missile Towards Hawaii

North Korea may fire a long-range ballistic missile toward Hawaii in early July, a Japanese news report said Thursday, as Russia and China urged the regime to return to international disarmament talks on its rogue nuclear program.
The missile, believed to be a Taepodong-2 with a range of up to 4,000 miles (6,500 kilometers), would be launched from North Korea’s Dongchang-ni site on the northwestern coast, said the Yomiuri daily, Japan’s top-selling newspaper. It cited an analysis by the Japanese Defense Ministry and intelligence gathered by U.S. reconnaissance satellites.
The missile launch could come between July 4 and 8, the paper said.
While the newspaper speculated the Taepodong-2 could fly over Japan and toward Hawaii, it said the missile would not be able to hit Hawaii’s main islands, which are about 4,500 miles (7,200 kilometers) from the Korean peninsula.
So, what will be the latest “WEAK” response from Secretary of Defense Robert Gates?
This time will the United States position Aegis anti-missile ships in the region to ACTUALLY intercept the Taepodong-2?
Or will Obama allow Kim Jong-Il to have all of the 4th of July fireworks?

North Korea is playing with fire! If it were to actually hit Hawaii imagine the ramifications. The fact that it is even being aimed at Hawaii is severely disturbing!

I wonder how Obama feels about the reduction on missile defense funding right about now.
Hawaii should not worry, they don’t have very good aim…

Obama should be fired(impeached) for being such a fag. No onE should be able to as much as threaten our national security without of thier words as the worlds strongest nation replies by crushing thier entire empire with a flick of the wRist setting an example for any other rogue nation without the utmost respect and submissive attitude toward the united states of America.

I speak on behalf of my Hawaiian bloodline brethreN, if Obama thinks he is a true Hawaiian he needs to get intouch with his warrior roots and show the world and north Korea some “”mana”(the Hawaiian warriors unphathomable strength And fearlessness in battle). Aloha mutha fuckaz!!!
