The missile, believed to be a Taepodong-2 with a range of up to 4,000 miles, would be launched in early July from the Dongchang-ni site on the north-western coast of the secretive country.

Intelligence analysts do not believe the device would be capable of hitting Hawaii's main islands, which are 4,500 miles from North Korea...

Details of the missile launch came from the Japan's best-selling newspaper, Yomiuri Shimbun.

It is understood the communist state is likely to fire the missile between July 4 and 8.

A launch on July 4 would coincide with Independence Day in the States.It would also be the 15th anniversary of North Korean president Kim Il-Sung's death.

Officials had initially believed that North Korea might attempt to launch a similar device towards either Japan's Okinawa island, Guam or Hawaii"

Several demonstrators held up a placard depicting a pair of hands smashing a missile with "U.S." written on it, according to footage taken by APTN in Pyongyang on the anniversary of the day North Korean troops charged southward, sparking the three-year Korean War in 1950.

North Korean troops will respond to any sanctions or U.S. provocations with "an annihilating blow," one senior official vowed — a pointed threat as an American destroyer shadowed a North Korean freighter sailing off China's coast, possibly with banned goods on board."

Oh OK. First they threaten to shoot a missle at Hawaii. So our government takes a do nothing (eh hem, I mean "defensive approach") to the situation and then North Korea threatens a "a fire shower of Nuclear retaliation"?

Lets review:

The United States is being bullied by this man

Kim Jon-Il the self appointed "ruler" of North Korea. Come on the man's name is Kim and he's calling the shots here. Are you kidding me.

Who cares what his motives are. Maybe he's trying to shake the U.S. down for more money, maybe he's running low on beer, women whatever.

"Kim" by threatening to Nuke the United States has just declared war whether he thinks so or not. It's time to blow the dust off of the old MacArthur plan which was:

"atomic bombing of enemy military concentrations and installations in North Korea" and an attack on China."

Scorch "Kim" until there is nothing left of his crazy syphilis infested, pubic-headed ass but his platform shoes.

Enough is enough! ! Shut up "Kim" or you'll hear from us. The choice is up to you.
