North Korea may launch a long-range ballistic missile towards Hawaii on American Independence Day, according to Japanese intelligence officials.
The missile, believed to be a Taepodong-2 with a range of up to 4,000 miles, would be launched in early July from the Dongchang-ni site on the north-western coast of the secretive country.
Intelligence analysts do not believe the device would be capable of hitting Hawaii's main islands, which are 4,500 miles from North Korea.
Details of the launch came from the Japan's best-selling newspaper, Yomiuri Shimbun.
Both Japanese intelligence and U.S. reconnaissance satellites have collated information pointing to the launch, according to the report.

That'll be some wild Fourth of July Firecracker display! :D
Joking aside, it's getting very serious. Perhaps this will be H's big test Joe Biden warned us about.
(Since we referred to the last President by his middle initial, I figure it is just fine to carry on that tradition of respect and honor.)

This "might" be a test, but will most likely end up backfiring on NK, - and give BO a chance to look tough, only for a few days though. Insofar as Biden goes, - he's pretty much been put "out to pasture" regarding foreign affairs/problems. His mouth is too much of a loose cannon - he seems to have no control over it. .. ;) Within the next few months Biden will probably end up being a "bridge inspector" for BO, - which ones need stimulus money the most??? .. ;)
