So I guess we will go to the League of Nations and give Iran a stern talking to after we see a Pol Pot 2.0 Perhaps they should send in Carter to help resolve things since the Iranians love him too.

Anybody know where in the world Pelosi is since she shoved her foot in her mouth? She should have known that was Bidens job. I think the Dems have seen she is not to popular and are trying to send her back to CA. I hope they are succesful as long as they take Reid with her. Two of the biggest lossers to ever make laws for the rest of us.

Pelosi still dealing with the CIA

You know, some of you Republiturds are continuing your bellicose rants. Yet, it is because of your misguided, lying past administration that we find ourselves in economic distress. Part of your master plan, called 'globalization' was to send heavy American industry overseas. In World War II, we were able to convert that industry to military production. Now, it is over in China and B.f.egypt and we will be hard pressed to ramp up military hardware production. And even more so, since all you have been griping about saving the last major industry--called the auto industy--that industry that can convert to military hardware production quickly. Keep talking, you see the micro but not the macro.

Hawaii in early July: report

The ministry concluded that it was "most likely" that North Korea's next ballistic missile test would be directed toward Hawaii, the daily said. But the ministry said a modified Taepodong-2, with a range of 4,000-6,500 kilometres (2,500-4,000 miles), may not be able to reach Hawaii, which is located more than 7,000 kilometres from the Korean peninsula, the Yomiuri added.

Tokyo (AFP) June 18, 2009
North Korea may be planning to fire a long-range missile towards Hawaii in early July, a Japanese daily said Thursday citing an analysis by the Japanese defence ministry.
The mass-circulation Yomiuri Shimbun published the analysis after US and South Korean officials said North Korea might be readying another ballistic missile test after three previous launches in 1998, 2006 and this year.

Pyongyang said its latest April 5 launch put a satellite into orbit, while the United States and its allies labelled it a thinly disguised test of a Taepodong-2 missile theoretically capable of reaching Alaska.

Japan's defence ministry believes that North Korea might now be planning to launch a two-stage or three-stage Taepodong-2 missile towards either Japan's Okinawa island, Guam or Hawaii, according to the report.

But the ministry said launches toward Okinawa or Guam were "extremely unlikely" because the first-stage booster could drop into waters off China, agitating Beijing, or hit western Japanese territory, the report said.

If the missile were fired in the direction of Hawaii, the booster could drop in the Sea of Japan (East Sea) well before the missile's remaining part flies over northern Japan and towards North America.

This would put "enormous military pressure on the United States," the Yomiuri said, citing the ministry report.

US satellite intelligence has shown that a missile launch pad had been erected at Dongchang-ri on North Korea's northwest coast, the newspaper said, echoing previous media reports.

The agency said it believes the next launch might possibly take place between July 4 and 8, the report said.

We must re-instate the draft and send all the republican bloggers to the front line. There they can be all they want to be.

or maybe he can craft a series of lies and misrepresenations, remove all the caveats from the cia assessments, and use information from questionable sources to make a case for war and invade. then when anyone criticizes they can go into attack mode and call anyone who doesn't go along as siding with the evil terrorists ... claiming all along you're fighting for good ... against the evil in the world.

seeing how well this has worked ... it's beyond explanation why they're not dusting this strategy off and applying it here.

Rowdy, you're just full of cr*p. We don't have diplomatic relations with Iran - we can't tell them what to do, we can only express concern. And guess what - the protestors are Muslim - so if your pathetic conspiracy theory were true, he WOULD be concerned about the Iranian people.

And to answer your question - BUSH/CHENEY attacked the wrong country - a country who never attacked us, who had nothing to do with 911, who didn't allow al Queda into the country, but who is now a stronghold of it. That's who.

We must at a time like this rally around our President. We cannot let the world know that most hardworking, tax paying Americans believe that he is a fraud dreamed up by David Axelrod.

Hey folks...Any developments on the Korean front? Looks like the story is being suppressed by the media...What is going on? Has the ship been boarded? Are the Norh Koreans mobilizing on the DMZ? What's the buzz? Have the North Koreans made any more threats?

[just like Gitmo, just saying you want to close it was good enough.....forget the fact that we have terrorists with no place to put them, and no funding to close Gitmo]

super max prisons are available to house them ... as they are now for other terrorist types. funding never seemed to be a problem before when it was throw them in a cell and forget about them.

Time for Obama and his mentor Jimmy Carter to jump on Ego Force one and have a chat with this guy! Wrap Hillary up, Sotomayer with a leg brace and take Turbo Timmy along. Biden can run things while they are gone, He will keep us all laughing.
