Defense Secretary Robert Gates thinks the country is headed in the wrong direction

No, not that west. The other west.

He’s not talking philosophically nor economically nor politically. He’s actually talking directionally.

Gates’ reaction to reports that North Korea may launch a missile in the direction of Hawaii?

“We’re obviously watching the situation in the north, with respect to missile launches, very closely,” Gates said. “And we do have some concerns, if they were to launch a missile to the west, in the direction of Hawaii.”

And when they’re done with that test, they may just fire one north toward South Korea.
