Tehran, 2006:
Wow. just ONE bomb could wipe us out?
And don't claims like this justify WMD claims? We need to invade now!
Oops posted too soon. If only one bomb could do all this, why haven't all the other bad guys tried it?
Big talk from a bunch of guys who haven't even dug ONE nuke shelter.

This is such yang.
If they wanted to inflict maximum carnage and damage they would target my city. New York City.
They would never waste a nuclear weapon on such a far fetched unproven emthod of attacking a nation. Laying waste to NYC would create GLOBAL havoc and would do an incredible amount of damage to the US economy.
The Electromagnetic Pulse strategy to knock out the U.S. infrastructure may have been viable in 1980, but since then the military-industrial complex has developed "hardened" chips that can withstand such an attack. Dream on, Iran. You would be swatted like an mosquito.
It must be made clear to both Iran and North Korea in no uncertain terms or diplomatic niceties that the use of nuclear weapons against the US will bring an immediate massive nuclear retaliation on their country.

With a nuke, all you have to get is close...............
The mere fact that they have such a plan illustrates how crazy they are.
It will screw up all the non sheilded thingys with diodes and transisters. Like our cars, PCs, TVs, Media, Power grid et al. But the military hardware is all shielded and should not be effected.
I agree. You can't use a MAD concept on people who want to go to paradise.
It's time for the brains in the DOD to think of another way to stop the mullahs short of a reactive nuclear strike against Iran. If they can't come up with anything then all that's left is to make that piece of desert radioactive when they launch their "one" missile.
That would really tick off the liberal Dems, but this country would be safe.
I guess they are planning to nuke India.
"Detonated at a height of 60 to 500 kilometers above the continental U.S., one nuclear warhead could cripple the country knocking out electrical power and circuit boards and rendering the U.S. domestic communications impotent. "
No it wouldn't, due to shielding standards and lack of blast radius. Stupid fear-mongering article lost all credibility there.
Just say "We want to attack Iran" and make up a lie and do it, instead of coming up with BS like this.
1. They shoot at us with there hand full of missiles.
2. We knock every one of them out with 10 fold redundancy, starting near the point of launch.
3. We retaliate and turn Iran into a nuclear waste dump.
It's not MAD! MAD assumes we both destroy each other.

Ha! All the more reason to buy cars made in the 60's.
Even if the do damage us serverely, we have the boomers out to sea.
