| Norks criticize US missile defense for Hawaii | |
| 2009-06-29 | |
| SEOUL, South Korea -- North Korea criticized the U.S. on Monday for positioning missile defense systems around Hawaii, calling the deployment part of a plot to attack the regime and saying it would bolster its nuclear arsenal in retaliation. U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has said he ordered the deployment of a ground-based, mobile missile intercept system and radar system to Hawaii amid concerns the North may fire a long-range missile toward the islands, about 4,500 miles away. "Through the U.S. forces' clamorous movements, it has been brought to light that the U.S. attempt to launch a pre-emptive strike on our republic has become a brutal fact," the North's main Rodong Sinmun newspaper said in a commentary. The paper also accused the U.S. of deploying nuclear-powered aircraft and atomic-armed submarines in waters near the Korean peninsula, saying the moves prove "the U.S. pre-emptive nuclear war" on the North is imminent.

Son, if we really wanted to do a pre-emptive strike on your ass, we would and you would never know about it until it was all over. And the crater wouldn't even smoke... |

| #2 the North will bolster its nuclear arsenal in self-defense. Ten times zero is still zero. If they actually had a functional nuclear device, so would Iran and Syria, at the very least... and at least a few of them would already be in the air, with great fanfare. |
