57% want a military response to North Korea

.
Most Americans think Kim Jong-Il needs a little cruise missile diplomacy.

While leftists scoffed last fall when at Gov. Sarah Palin said some of her constituents can see Russia from their yards — they can — North Korea quietly was building a rocket that can reach Alaska — or Hawaii.


In response, we got a bunch of jaw from President Obama, who wants to replace the Department of Defense with the Department of Eloquence.

“We will immediately consult with our allies in the region, including Japan and the Republic of Korea, and members of the U.N. Security Council to bring this matter before the Council. I urge North Korea to abide fully by the resolutions of the U.N. Security Council and to refrain from further provocative actions,”

Obama said in a written statement.

Rasmussen asked people what they think: 57% say a military response is in order. 15% say kumbaya.

I say if you own land in Alaska or Hawaii, you might want to take out missile insurance. Just in case.

The Rasmussen story is here.

The president’s words are here.
