But are the Aegis ships carrying SM3???

I'm constructing a plan to kidnap ALL Muzzle-em Pair'o Dice Virgins !!! ;-))

[1stFreedom]

It may not have built to do so, but it was built so well it can do so..


But to do so it must use SM3s which are still undergoing trials if I remember..

I'm guessing that invading Iran is a bigger bite than our military can chew right now, even without being heavily involved in Iraq.

This kind of news definitely justifies deploying SDI weapons at breakneck speed, however. This is exactly the kind of scenario for which DSI was designed - intercept a single or small number of missiles from a rogue state.

Let's be sure to give a vote of thanks to Clinton and the Democrats for delaying development of anti-missile technology for 8 years.

EMP ping..........

[reagan_fanatic]

Silly. If the mad mullahs really wanted to hurt the U.S., they'd simply target the export facilities of China. The sudden halt in the flow of goods to the U.S. would cripple the American economy for years ;)

Answer here...

Yes, the scenario would be that China or some other country launch a satillite which also has a MIRV in it. They could have done that years ago, waiting for the right moment to launch it from its platform, when the time is right (say when we have troops massed to prevent an invasion of North Korea against S. Korea). One MIRV hits the upper atmosphere of Korea, one the Pacific Command in Hawaii and a couple at the CONUS.

Sounds like a Tom Clancy novel.

If this happened, why do I think the left would still protest the US from responding with our own nukes?

Picture Richard (gerbil-boy) Gere on stage: "I am speaking for all the World...We must think of Peace right now".

Katie Couric: "What did we do to deserve this?"

Al Franken: "Its Bush's fault".

Democrats: (insert cricket chirps here)

I agree NYC is and will remain target #1. The damage to the US economy would be severe in the short term.
Wise companies should be planning on it with duplicate business data storage in another location.
My employer has shifted several major decision making and data hubs to NYC.
They are basically clueless.

If only one bomb could do all this, why haven't all the other bad guys tried it?

Because the big dogs (Russia, China, etc) know that the EMP would only wreck civilian infrastructure, and the hardened missile silos would soon reply with devastating consequences.

And all the mad islamokazis who care nothing about devastating consequences have no high-altitude delivery vehicle, if they indeed have a bomb at all.

[Sender]

Correction: the mad islamokazis have ho high-altitude delivery vehicle as long as they are unable to sneak such a warhead onto a commercial aircraft.

Corsi was on KSFO yesterday (Sunday 4/20) with David Gold, and he was sounding like he would have been delighted to be wrong about this, but wanted to sound the alarm that it was possible.

[cbkaty]

Our seaborne subs work make short work of Iran and anyone else suspected of collaboration.....

All pf those virgins would look like either Helen Thomas or Madelin (Not at) Albright!

[RightWhale]

If they set off three thermonuclear devices inside the US it would be the end of the US as we know it.

However, it would not be the end of the US.

The US would be forced to mobilize for a couple of internal reasons, and for one external reason. First, the regions hit by the nukes would need a high order of organization to provide relief--food, water, shelter. Second, it might be necessary to mobilize to maintain order in the affected regions. Third, the US would mobilize to eliminate all foreign threat of further such action. They wouldn't want to make us angry. They wouldn't like us when we're angry.

Just keep playing with the mad dog until he bites you. Actually they could take us out now if they were able to hit the Saudi refineries. A reduction of 50% of our oil use would be very crippling and would require a new energy source that we don't have. Any idea of the actions we would take then?

[NYFriend]

There was a Nelson DeMille book in the 80's where the plot was that the Soviets had stashed a nuke in a satellite in order to set off an EMP over the CONUS.

[chris1]

I don't understand why we don't use our secret weapon. Forget nukes - I say if we really really want to cripple and destroy a country for good we ship over about 10000 liberals and RATS to IRAN. Talk about germ warfare!

[OK]

Re: "the missile will probably NOT make it here."

All they have to do is put it on an Al Qaeda owned ship (there are many) attached to a mobile missile, shoot it up over the East Coast and detonate at high altitude.

The real problem is that we would have a very difficult time pinning it on Iran. We have seen the denial among many about connections between Al Qaeda and Saddam or Iran, etc. etc.
