    • Toyota Recalls – MORE?
      I cant believe it. More recalls from Toyota brand vehicles. Maybe just maybe they should have spent the money on the new advertising of how safe they are in the quality department! It now makes all the new ads such a joke! They just recalled more than 1 million of its Corolla and Matrix cars, […]

North Korea Wont Allow US Navy to Board Ship

North Korean cargo ship Kang Nam 1

In lieu of the July 4 2009 missile launch, being aimed towards Hawaii, we should be justified in boarding that ship.

Scary but I think I agree with John McCain! Board it and find out what is going on! From what the past tells us no matter what the United States does North Korea claims its an act of war, so we might as well be safe and know what their cargo is.

Robert Gates, the US defense secretary, sitting alongside Mullen, told reporters he was taking seriously the possibility of a North Korean missile launch in the direction of the US. “We’re obviously watching the situation in the North, with respect to missile launches, very closely. And we do have some concerns, if they were to launch a missile to the east, in the direction of Hawaii,” Gates said.

Japan’s Yomiuri newspaper, citing a Japanese defense ministry analysis, said North Korea may fire a long-range missile over Japan towards Hawaii between July. Gates ordered the deployment of anti-ballistic missiles to the islands group. The Theater High-Altitude Area Defense (Thaad) missiles do not carry warheads but are intended to collide with incoming missiles.

North Korea has been responsible for secret nuclear proliferation, including the export of information and material to Libya, which has since voluntarily given up its nuclear weapons ambitions.

Defense analysts question whether North Korea has a missile capable of reaching Hawaii or Alaska. Its Taepodong-2 missile in April managed to reach only half the distance required to reach Hawaii.

But defense analysts are also skeptical about whether, if the missile was to approach Hawaii, the US is capable of intercepting it.

I’m obviously not an expert by any means but it does look to me like we have cause to board that ship.
