      "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.

          Classic case of posturing? All bark and no bite as usual?

            I liked the part about nuke powered aircraft.Kim Jong Ill is posturing so that his son who is about to take the reins of power from his Dad will have a little breathing room.

              How ridiculous...he threatens to attack Hawaii with a missile...then criticizes us for putting a missile defense in Hawaii. Sorry if we don't make it easy for you Kim.

                Lil Kim posturing and bellowing only reinforces his small man complex. Sort of laughable that he says his nuclear program is for defending his country from the US and then condemns the US when it takes a defensive posture.

                  What do you expect from a man shorter than Alexander the Great,
                  who has a thick buffont hairdo and 4-5 inch platform heels,
                  whose No. 1 son was caught trying to get into the Tokyo Disneyland wearing a fake Rolex and was immediately deported.
                  He is "hoping" his second Swiss boarding schooled 25 yr old son
                  from his second "marriage" will be as good as his father before
                  him,"The Great Leader", a lot to put on a young kid's shoulders
                  unless he happens to be like the high ranking NKorean Army officer's western spoiled son in "Die Another Day". I'd say
                  the Alaskans are more concerned than the Hawaiians, since they
                  have natural gas and oil fields, and the islands just happen to be Obama's birthplace and Sarah Palin can at least see a
                  Daepong missle up close. The 4th of July missile shot may just be a ruse.

                    That's hysterical. First they say that they will wipe the U.S. off the map. Then, when we take precautions , they get angry and take offense.
