"Actually wasnt it gates who said we could."

Not quite. What he said is we could defend if he launched at Hawaii. That we might be able to do, or it could be that it was a calculated gamble. The missile in question has not had a great deal of success. Well, to be blunt, it failed both times it was tested. By making some educated guesses with what could be possible with a missile of that size, it might have the range to make it to Hawaii. But, it might not. And that is assuming it doesn't fail.

I thought he was setting up ships with missiles around HW and maybe AK to let NK know if they fire on HW or AK, we will fire on NK.
