As North Korea gets ready to help the U.S. celebrate July 4th with its own fireworks by launching a ballistic missile towards Hawaii (www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1193941/North-Korea-plan-missile-launch-Hawaii-Independence-Day.html), it is more than a little ironic that President Obama has ordered anti-ballistic missile units into action. (www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/barackobama/5600854/Barack-Obama-US-fully-prepared-for-North-Korea-missile-launch.html) Why is it ironic? Because Obama and Congressional Democrats have been whacking away at funding for these same missiles in the budget now under consideration, apparently on the premise that deficit social spending is much more suited to keeping them in office than nasty defense spending. (blog.al.com/space-news/2009/06/missile_defense_budget_cuts_co.html ) Right at the moment I suspect that the voters of Hawaii might disagree and if the little weasels in North Korea keep perfecting their ballistic missile technology, a lot of voters in the continental United States might come to the same conclusion.
