North Korea Claims Nuke's Could Hit Austin, TX: Neville Chamberlain Obama Sits on His Hands

     North Korea is ratcheting up its' threats once again, as it puts Austin, TX on the map of its' possible targets.  What was Neville Chamberlain's...um I mean Barak Obama's response to such provocations?  A strong reaction by the international community, but what does that really mean?  By his words Obama really meant that the United States would maintain the status quot of economic sanctions and harsh rhetoric.  Seems to have worked so far, no not really.  

     Once again the media is fiercely coming to stand by the Administration and its' stance on the rouge nation of North Korea.  They even go so far as to criticize Governor Rick Perry when he stated, “Economically what has happened in Texas over the course of the last decade has made this city an epicenter for a lot of technology, a lot of economic development, and I think the individuals in North Korea understand that Austin, Texas, is a very important city in America, as do corporate CEOs and other people who are moving here in record numbers,” Perry said.  The mainstream media even went as far as taking shots at Perry, claiming that he was using this whole incident to help promote the economic job growth that has occurred in his state.  Why does this seem so irrational to the 'intelligentsia' of the left?  It's quite simple, they act just as Neville Chamberlain did when Hitler would attack, promise he would stop, attack again, and promise again, resulting in the outbreak of World War II.  The left seems to have the inability to acknowledge that there just might be some bad characters out there on the world stage, and some of them might just do what they say.

     The choice of Austin, TX goes a little deeper, and eludes the liberals just a little bit more, and that is the economic growth now going on in Texas makes it a very real target for a potential enemy of the United States!  Why would a nation, with only a hand full of nuclear weapons, at most, waste them on attacking a city such as Reno, NV?  They wouldn't of course, they would go after an economically thriving city that was vital to the growth of the nation.  Recent economic reports state that Texas and California are both poised to create 1,000,000 new jobs over the next four years, and it is no surprise that 3 of the five targets stated by the North Koreans are in these two states.  So what should we do?

     One report claims that Kim Jong Un has moved his rockets to the eastern borders to help improve in their accuracy.  So we know where the rockets are, and we have the capability to take them out, especially when they have not been launched.  So why do we hesitate?  We took preemptive action in Libya to help ouster the dictator there, and helped support the uprisings in Egypt, but why not North Korea?

     Granted the North Korean conflict is more complicated than the previous two, as one of our major allies lay just to the south of the rouge nation, but that cannot stop us from taking the necessary actions.  We cannot wait until a missle is headed into downtown Austin, San Diego, or Los Angeles!  By then 100,000's if not more will die from the utter ignorance of our government, and this can't be allowed.  It's time to stop trying placate madmen and use our Air Force to make a preemptive strike against the missile launching sites, and put this little dictator in his place.
