Security Blanket

Doubtless under the influence of Her and Her nest of hawks, President Obama will be going to the UN Security Council if North Korea does something or other over the next few days. And saying what? I hope that they laugh in his face, and then tell him that, while they like him, he badly needs to change his Secretary of State. Like he didn't know that already.

It is no more permitted to wonder why North Korea would want to bomb Alaska than it was to wonder why Iraq would have wanted to bomb wherever it was that Saddam Hussein was supposed to have wanted to bomb, presumably (though entirely inexplicably) the British bases on Cyprus.

Still, if North Korea (or, indeed, Iran) really does want nuclear weapons, then she doubtless wants the ones that Iraq had. Capable of deployment within 45 minutes. Capable of reaching New York from Mesopotamia, so imagine how deep into the American heartland they could reach from Korea.

And completely undetectable by any means whatever.
