Seriously, WTH?

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said the United States is “prepared for any contingencies” involving North Korea _ including the regime’s reported threat to launch a long-range missile toward Hawaii.

Japanese media have reported the North Koreans appear to be preparing for a long-range test near July 4. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has ordered additional protections for Hawaii in case a missile is launched over the Pacific Ocean.

“This administration _ and our military is fully prepared for any contingencies,” Obama said Friday during an interview with CBS News’ Harry Smith, to be broadcast Monday on “The Early Show.”

“I don’t want to speculate on hypotheticals,” Obama said. “But I want … to give assurances to the American people that the t’s are crossed and the i’s are dotted in terms of what might happen.”

Hey, how about this:

If North Korea looks like it’s going to launch a missile at Hawaii, we don’t let it happen and we pound the living crap out of them.

We give our pals in South Korea all the warning they need to protect themselves – but we make it clear – shoot at us, and you get to live like the Flintstones – but without the modern conveniences of the bird telephone that says “Eh, it’s a living.”

I respect this administration’s attitude on Iran.  I agree that Iraq was a mistake.  But this thing is as clear as clear can be.

If they are preparing a missile to be launched toward the U.S., it should never leave the silo. 

And neither should the people launching it.
