North Korea launching missile at Hawaii?

Maybe. How much is the usual bluster from the North. [Link]

Joe Biden warned the US that dictators would test Obama and create international crises to see how the inexperienced Commander in Chief would respond. Biden also warned that Obama’s response would look wrong, and that the Left would have to rally to his side. That was widely interpreted to mean that Obama would simply refuse to respond at all to provocations, but it’s hard to imagine that a missile launch at an American state would get no response at all.

So what will Obama do? Pretend it didn’t happen, ask for another strongly-worded memo from the UN, or start providing real consequences for Kim’s actions? Say, perhaps, a test of the missile defense system on any launch from the Korean Peninsula? So far, the Obama administration has prompted nothing but escalation from Kim, who apparently believes that he’s tested Obama enough and found him wanting.
