So, I read this article, learn that intelligence suggests that N. Korea is planning to launch a ballistic missile over Japan and toward Hawaii in the next few weeks, and then have to wonder. Remind me again why President Obama cancelled much of the U.S. missile defense program? Was it because he just needed the $1.4 billion slashed from its budget to avoid deficit spending for other priorities? No, I don’t think that was it, since he’s shown no aversion to deficit spending. It’s an inexplicable decision in the current geopolitical environment.
