On the Fourth of July, naturally. So now we have the psycopahtic dictator from Pyongyang launching a long-range ballistic missile at American soil. What could go wrong?

North Korea may fire a long-range ballistic missile toward Hawaii in early July, a Japanese news report said Thursday, as Russia and China urged the regime to return to international disarmament talks on its rogue nuclear program.

The missile, believed to be a Taepodong-2 with a range of up to 4,000 miles (6,500 kilometers), would be launched from North Korea’s Dongchang-ni site on the northwestern coast, said the Yomiuri daily, Japan’s top-selling newspaper. It cited an analysis by the Japanese Defense Ministry and intelligence gathered by U.S. reconnaissance satellites.

The missile launch could come between July 4 and 8, the paper said.

While the newspaper speculated the Taepodong-2 could fly over Japan and toward Hawaii, it said the missile would not be able to hit Hawaii’s main islands, which are about 4,500 miles (7,200 kilometers) from the Korean peninsula.

Launching a long-range ballistic missile towards your country would be considered casus belli under most circumstances. But Kim Jong-Il knows that Barack Obama won’t bother reacting by even shooting the missile down. Joe Biden warned that Barack Obama would be tested, and he was right. So far Obama’s failing that test.
