The missile is pointing at Obama

Did you know Pakistan released their nuclear proliferater the other day? And Yemen, the ancestral home of Osama bin Laden let go the terrorists from their jails? We hold a lot of hard-core Yemenis at Gitmo...for now. Then there was Iran's recent missile launch--called "hope". Do you feel safer now that the world supposedly doesn't hate us any more?And how about this:

- North Korea. A constant liberal lament about the Bush administration was that its supposed hard line on Pyongyang had yielded nothing except five or six North Korean bombs.

So what is Kim Jong Il to do now that the Obama administration is promising a friendlier approach? In late January, Pyongyang announced it was unilaterally withdrawing from its 1991 nonaggression pact with the South.

Satellite imagery later showed the North moving a Taepodong 2 missile -- potentially capable of reaching the U.S. West Coast -- to a launch pad. "The missile is pointing at Obama," Baek Seung-joo, a director at the Korea Institute for Defense Analyses in Seoul, told the L.A. Times.
The missile is pointing at Obama, but maybe this will get San Francisco Nancy Pelosi's attention too. Probably not.
