NORAD Goes to Higher Alert

Story here. h/t: Drudge.

Could be something to do with North Korea's ICMBs. Does the administration see something coming?

Could it be Iran-related? Or related to some nation from which we don't expect an attack, at least not for a longer time?

Could also have to do with an asteroid, which is expected to come very close to Earth, about as close as the moon is. A collision with Earth isn't expected, but that's only the scientific prediction for now.

Do read the story at the link for more.

But at least the authorities are paying attention to real threats and taking precautionary measures, even if the left could care less!
