		<description>Mankai et al...

There are a lot of us from Hawaii who did not vote for BHO.  Your argument that we in Hawaii deserve the possibility of being bombed because a majority voted for him is absurd...A majority of our Country did the same.  Do a people who vote a certain way deserve the consequence?  Last I knew...it just takes 50% +1 to win an election...does that mean that the 50% - 1 deserve what they get?  No, it just motivates them to vote differently the next time.  

I served my Country and will do so again in a heartbeat!  I am raising my kids to be respectful and patriotic citizens.  I am a product of an immigrant mother and also a descendant of the Mayflower on my father&#039;s side....

I pray you change your warped thinking...</description>

		<description>Carter was the biggest idiot for a President, but Carter looks like Reagan compared to Obama. If Carter had his way we would have a United DPRK Korea.  Carter wanted to remove all troops from South Korea. During a visit to South Korea in 1979 after a difficult meeting with President Park the US ambassador Bill Gleysteen and Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance argued with Carter to change his mind. Holbrook said as the limo pulled up to the ambassadors residence no one got out. Holbrook could see inside the limo from his car behind that a heated argument was taking place. The up side is that Carter relented and slowed down the withdrawal. Reagan Stopped the withdrawal all together.
Obama election office had a US flag with Che Guevara on it. Che was 2nd in charge for Cuban revolution under Castro. &lt;blockquote&gt; Che was enraged when the Russians blinked during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis and withdrew their nuclear missiles from the island, thus averting a nuclear war? Guevara was such a zealous ideologue that he relished the specter of millions of Cuban lives sacrificed on the altar of communism, declaring Cuba “a people ready to sacrifice itself to nuclear arms, that its ashes might serve as a basis for new societies.” &lt;/blockquote&gt; no one should be surprised that Obama is a communist.</description>

		<description>Perhaps the missile will fail.  Perhaps the defense system will intercept it.

The epic failure here is that the US is cowering in the face of overt aggression from a bankrupt communist outpost (talking about N Korea).

In any normal situation the administration would be answering tough questions about their conduct, because  citizens are now personally at risk at a result of their nuanced and weak foreign policy.</description>

		<description>25 years in the military, 9 years in Korea, and 12 in the Pacific and Middle East Theaters, all I have to offer is that I know the threats are real, the damage that can inflict is deadly, and they will use them without a second thought.

So beware and be prepared to defend our way of life, instead of trying to make nice and apologizing.</description>

		<description>Wouldn&#039;t it be a beautiful and wonderful irony if Japan knocked down a North Korean missile flying through its airspace--all in defense of Hawaii some 68 years after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor?

		<description>&quot;We certainly now see why the US needs to keep funding those systems.&quot;

I see nothing of the kind. Hawaii only has 4 electoral votes. And the tourism industry is always the first hit in bad economic times so their lobby power is feasibly unsustainable.

		<description>The photo of the equipment being towed across the ocean, showing the big white (radar?) ball, reminds me of the thing on &quot;The Prisoner&quot; that would come up from the ocean floor and swallow Patrick McGoohan whenever he tried to escape from The Village. That particular white ball was, I&#039;ve read, based on the bubble in which the Good Witch floats into Oz.

While I&#039;m reminscing, is anyone else here old enough to have had a fallout shelter during the Cuban Missle Crisis? We made one in our basement. We put some supplies, such as a few big cans of water, in an interior room down there. I&#039;m sure it wouldn&#039;t have helped us, but we felt very safe and patriotic for having worked on it. My dad, an army lt. colonel, was called up to Fort Chaffee, Arkansas, and I remember my mother showing me a map, because we were considering moving there with him. In the end, we stayed put, although he was gone for several months. 

Just recallin&#039;. Sorry it was a bit OT. Today, a basement shelter would have so much more stuff. I hope we won&#039;t need one.</description>

		<description>The legal trick is to determine where to shoot it down?  If shot down over any country could be considered war.

Because, a counties sovereignty extends from the below the ground and up to heaven. 

Therefore, we must shot it down over international waters.  However, the further into the flight path the harder it gets to shot it down.</description>

		<description>They may want to be on alert elsewhere too. Suppose he doesn&#039;t shoot it that way?

I&#039;d really laugh if he screws up and lands it in China.LOL</description>

		<description>I would say prepare to shoot it down, but dont unless it is projected to breach a certain airspace. If you want to piss &#039;em off though, shoot it down on ascent once it clears Japan. When they say &#039;missle test&#039;, they are testing US not the missle. Screw &#039;em what are they gonna do about it. Jong Jong is nothing but a big fat crybaby with little toys anyway.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;At Fort Greeley in Alaska, the missile defense silos can defend the U.S. from both North Korea and Iran, but the Obama budget would cuts the number of interceptor missiles based there from 44 to 30. And that has both Republicans and Democrats asking, why now?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The three words in this that really seem to gnaw at my senses and make me take notice as to what could have been are:  
Alaska
Budget
Why?

If only common sense played a roll in electing Obama to the presidence of the USA.</description>

		<description>U.S.S. Obama will be a Target Drone.

&lt;blockquote&gt;
On 16 February 2005 Vice Admiral Lowell E. Jacoby, U.S. Navy, Director, Defense Intelligence Agency, testified that the &quot;...Taepo Dong 2 intercontinental ballistic missile may be ready for testing. This missile could deliver a nuclear warhead to parts of the United States in a two stage variant and target all of North America with a three stage variant.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Love how this &quot;little country&quot; just keeps upgrading his fireworks.

An interesting scenario would be if he or his mini-me shoots off a nuke, we intercept and it detonates. Any President with balls would take out every military complex Nk has and invade. Obama will never do that. His Presidency would last 30 days, if that. Once people realize that the god O-hole is incapable of Command America would look like Iran times 100.Americans may be fat and happy, but they react badly to a gun in the face.</description>

		<description>I saw this article earlier today.  It amazes me how flowered-up it was, giving us all the impression that we moved massive amounts of missile defense systems to Hawaii.  Nothing was &quot;moved&quot; to Hawaii to counter this threat.  The SBX-T has been there for the last couple of months undergoing routine maintenance.  It&#039;s normal deployed location is near Adak, AK.  If anything, they moved it a couple hundred miles out to sea in preparation for the launch.  The &quot;missile defense weapons&quot; that Gates referred to is the THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Air Defense) missile system, which has aalways been at PMRF (Pacific Missile Range Facility), on the Southeastern shore of Kauai.  Since all missile tests at PMRF are launched towards the East, they most likely rotated the THAAD radar 180 degrees to get coverage of anything launched out of the Far East.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Well Mankai perhaps you should consider your words more carefully before you glibly toss out the comment that the people of Hawaii somehow deserve to be bombed (and by extension that all states that had Obama voters should meet a similar fate). It is irrelevant whether or not this particular missile will even clear Japan (who did not vote for BHO if I am informed correctly). Your mean-spirited nonsense is unwarranted and immature. No one in the USA deserves to be bombed no matter how they voted (and I repeat since you seem unclear - no I did not vote for BHO and neither did a lot of my friends).

Gee thanks Mom. Since you are so sanctimonious, perhaps you should start your own blog, that way you can ban people who don&#039;t conform to your speech. Or better yet, go into a profession where you can tell other people what to do, like a bureaucrat or even better, a lawyer! Oh wait...</description>

		<description>FYI
During the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Soviets in Cuba were planning to take out Guantanamo Naval Base with an early version of a nuclear cruise missile, the FKR or frontovaya krylataya raketa.  There were two regiments of these in Cuba at the time, each with forty nuclear warheads and eight cruise missile launchers.  We were very lucky we did not invade.  Raul Castro knows all about this because he was the guy that coordinated with the Soviets about the plan to destroy GITMO.  What most people know about the Cuban Missile Crisis is wrong. Things got very close indeed, much closer that this North Korea missile thing.</description>

		<description>Ed,  I find it odd none of our allies are stepping up to help us defend Hawaii.  &lt;strong&gt;Are we alone in this fight?&lt;/strong&gt; What is the usual protocol for our allies?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;How odd that Obama suddenly discovered the utility of missile defense systems.  Obama demanded a cut in missile-defense funding of $1.2 billion in 2010, which angered Republicans in Congress, who predicted this very scenario&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Odd indeed!  Odder still, Hillary will be in surgery/recovery during this crisis.  Oddest yet: People actually voted for a half-term senator with zero experience. 

Betcha Bush, Cheney &amp; Condi would have sent 4 ships to intercept NK&#039;s missles.</description>
