Missile Boondoggle Update: Norks Targeted Hawaii With Taepodong-2
If true, I'd say that this certainly merits a tad more reaction than a "strongly-worded resolution".
North Korea targeted waters near Hawaii when it fired a long-range missile this week, a Japanese newspaper reported Friday.The long-range Taepodong-2 was part of a barrage of seven missiles test-fired by North Korea on Wednesday. They all fell harmlessly into the Sea of Japan, but South Korean officials said the long-range missile had malfunctioned, suggesting it was intended for a more remote target.
Japan's conservative mainstream daily Sankei said that Japanese and US defense officials have concluded that the Taepodong-2 had targeted US state of Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean, after analyzing data collected from their intelligence equipment.
The newspaper quoted unidentified Japanese and US government officials.
The officials decided that the missile was pointed at Hawaii from the angle of its nose cone immediately after its launch and the altitude it has reached, after analyzing data collected by Aegis-equipped destroyers and RC-135S electronic reconnaissance aircraft, the newspaper said.
Meanwhile the UN "Security" Council stumbles and bumbles like a bunch of buffoons, unable to come up with a unified response to the Norks threats. The majority of the "Security" Council, including Japan and the U.S., want a "strongly worded resolution" diplo-speak for a worthless piece of crap not worth the paper its printed on and China and Russia don't want to do a damn thing which is roughly equal to what "strongly-worded" UN resolutions are.
In the midst of all this buffoonery and indecision, the little pot-bellied dictator is again threatening to hurt us if we attempt to bring him into line. Raise your hand if you've had enough of this BS. If we had a real conservative in the White House we wouldn't be stumbling and bumbling around like a bunch of fools trying to figure out what we were going to do. Instead, every known missile launch site in North Korea would be obliterated and Kim Jong Il would be a little tiny pot-bellied grease spot.
HELLO, George Bush? President of the United States? How about a little leadership here as the leader of world's only superpower and defender of freedom and democracy worldwide? How about YOU give US a birthday present on your 60th B-day? Bomb North Korea into oblivion.

Are you saying they were actually attacking Hawaii or testing that their missiles would be able to reach it? Because I don't see how the latter changes anything. And I don't see the former being...true.
