The Japanese press is reporting that North Korea is readying its Taepodong-2 ballistic missile to fire at Hawaii on July 4. The Taepodong-2 has a range of 4,000 miles, but analysts are skeptical that it would reach that far.

Secretary Gates has ordered the military’s ground based mobile missile defense system to Hawaii, which is capable of shooting down anything North Korea launches in our direction.

I have no doubt that anything North Korea shoots at us would be defeated by our missile defense systems. They have almost 0% chance of hitting us with a damn thing.

However, whether or not a missile attack would be successful is hardly the point. The issue here is that North Korea plans to launch a missile attack against the United States.

If they do launch against us and president Obama takes no military action he will go down in history as a bigger pussy than Jimmy Carter.

It’s beyond pathetic that we’ve lived with threats and belligerence from North Korea for decades. There is no country on the planet that’s weaker or more pathetic than North Korea.

It’s unbelievable that such a brokedown, cold war relic like the DPRK has been allowed to threaten the world.

The United States could cripple the North Korean military beyond repair in less than 24 hours.

Aside from their ballistic missile program and primitive nuclear bombs, their military equipment belongs in a museum rather than on a battlefield.

The modern fighter jets they have are useless because they don’t have the fuel to fly them.

They have a standing army of 1,000,000 soldiers, but they are poorly equipped and hungry.

We could fly a single B-2 Stealth Bomber over North Korea and drop JDAMS on their military bases, rocket launch pads, and any other targets of opportunity.

While we’re at it, we should drop bombs on the military barracks in the concentration camps up in the mountains.

This would give the hundreds of thousands of people enslaved in those camps a chance to escape.

The argument against military action with North Korea has always been that if we attack they’ll launch artillery and rockets into South Korea which would kill thousands of people.

They have hundreds of artillery pieces and rockets pushed right up to the DMZ ready to fire on Seoul.

However, we have the technology to simultaneously hit almost all of these installations in one strike, rendering the North nearly impotent.

After we degrade their ability to fire on the South, it would be a joke the rest of the way. Kim Jong-il is a lunatic and a mass murderer who should have been taken out by the U.S. years ago.

The bottom line is that it would be disaster of historic proportions if president Obama does not respond in kind to a missile strike on Hawaii by North Korea.
