You assume that the missile would have a nuclear warhead. At maximum range, the Taepodong-2 is estimated to have a payload capacity of less than 500 kg (1,100 lbs). (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taepodong-2).

The test weapons that N. Korea has fired (one fizzled) are believed to be Uranium 235 implosion types modeled after the first generation Pakistani weapons based on technology released by Kahn.

The U-235 warhead is significantly heavier than a plutonium design and can be expected to weigh somewhere in the area of 2000+ pounds. OK for aircraft but not for long range missiles.

Also, the step of going from a test warhead to one successfully integrated with a missile as a weapon system is a pretty big one. I seriously doubt the N. Koreans are anywhere close to that point.

I would hate to think that the usurpur would allow a nuke to go off in this country,as a means for an ULTIMATE power grab.We would be the ones to suffer,not those that inflicted the damage.Full scale gun confiscation,positive id,iris scan,the works.

I have been thinking about this for a while and have come to the conclusion that this act of aggression may the answer to show the people that the usurper in office is the wrong person for the job. The way this idiot is handling our enemies will come to bite him two fold (as you can see now with NK/DPRK).

Sadly most governors don`t have the stones to even consider the Guard as their states own forces as they should be. Every president thinks he owns the Guard and gets away with it, the guard should stay in their respective states and defend them and them alone against any aggressor be it foreign or domestic. Kimdongone is playing more stupid games and as long as the ragheads don`t get the BOMB let him act tough.

Wasn’t it a cease fire?
My father was a disabled combat veteran and it had an effect on me. I do not forgive those proxy comi bastards. they re-opened the war. Ya – put hillary in as a threat, how much unverifiable dismantiling money was you and bill (dick) responsible for. NC is just sucking on the same tit.,

here’s another angle to look at. does anyone think that n korea would really send missles to the u.s regardless of obongo being in office. we would still nock the shit out of them. what if this is the “crisis” that we all know of and it was set up to make obongo look like he has diverted such crisis. ahh hail obongo for his courage and leadership.

I just heard from a friend in Hawaii his remarks
“One thing that can happen is the Hawaii Governor , Linda Lingle (R) can call out and activate the Hawaii National Guard
Both Army and Air
She does not need DC’s permission to do this . Gov. Palin can do this too .

THIS would be a very strong message to both our country and the world

IF these two Republican leaders have the grit to lead in this way .

She should do this soon , right away
I’m writing her today with that request”

maybe we should support him in this effort

I’m sure Hawaii would really like to have a nice laser defense system (ABL) which they just cut funding to…..
