Ke kāhea nei kahi luna ʻahaʻōlelo o North Carolina e noiʻi i kahi ʻaelike $418 miliona ma waena o Kenya a me kahi ʻaelike pale kaua nui o ʻAmelika i hoʻolaha ʻia ma ka lā hope o Pelekikena Obama ma ke keʻena - he kuʻikahi i ʻōlelo ʻia e ka poʻe loio.

(Ke hana nei ʻo IOMAX ma kāna mokulele ʻAkelakela ma kahi hale hana ma Albany, Ga.)
ʻAʻole i pane aku kahi waha ʻōlelo o ka Moku'āina i kahi noi no ka ʻōlelo e pili ana i ka ʻaelike.
ʻO kahi kumu me ka ʻike o nā kūkākūkā i haʻi aku iā Fox News ke kūkulu ʻia nei ka papahana me ke Keʻena Moku'āina no ka liʻiliʻi o hoʻokahi makahiki a ʻo kāna hoʻolaha ʻana i ka lā hope o Obama ma ke keʻena he "kūpono maoli."
ʻO L3, i kēia manawa, hoʻokuʻu loa i kekahi koi o ke aloha i kāna kuʻikahi me Kenya - i ʻae ʻia e ka Moku'āina ʻo Moku'āina, ʻaʻole ka Hale Paʻa - a hoʻihoʻi i nā hōʻike ʻaʻole ia i kūkulu i kēlā mokulele.

"ʻO L3 wale nō ka hui me kahi mokulele i loaʻa kēia mau palapala hōʻoia," wahi a L3.
Akā ʻo Ron Howard, ka pūʻali koa US nāna i hoʻomaka i ka IOMAX i ka makahiki 2001, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, "ʻO mākou wale nō" e hana ana i nā mokulele mea kaua kūikawā a Kenya i noi ai.
ʻO ka hale hana ʻo IOMAX ma Albany, Ga., hoʻololi i ka lepo lepo i nā mokulele i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me nā mea kaua e like me Hellfire missiles a me nā lako nānā. Ua kapa ʻia ka mokulele i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ʻo ka ʻAkelakela, wahi a Howard, a hiki ke pana a pahū paha me ka pololei loa mai 20,000 kapuaʻi.
