There may be some REAL fireworks for Hawaii come July 4th as NKorea threatens missile launch

Kim Jong-Il is now threatening to shoot a long-range ballistic missile at Hawaii, our 50th state and Obama (alleged) home state. Heres the info from Hotair:

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.

    Korea will not launch any weapons on July 4th- this is just another ploy by the repubs to get everyone riled up.

    Funny how Bush never did a thing to prevent this….in 8 yrs-but all oof a sudden it’s Obama’s fault? I think you people have a short memory when it comes to Bush. He invaded a innocent country, killed millions of innocent people- imprisoned thousands of innocent men, and created 911.

    Who’s the bad guy now?

    I think Korea is actually pointing their weapons towards Bush’s ranch- but should be pointing them towards Cheney’s house as well- wouldn’t that be a great 4th of July? LOL :) ))
