Hmmmmm.....
hope they're wrong, or that this is disinfo.
The B-2 Spirit stealth bomber is able to penetrate heavily defended airspace, especially at night. The B-2 also carries an impressive weapons load – it was recently re-equipped with a modified weapons rack that simultaneously dropped 80 JDAM GPS-guided weapons from a single B-2. The B-2 flew 43 combat missions in Operation Iraqi Freedom, employing more than 400 precision weapons throughout in the air campaign. Since then, the aircraft has been used to test new munitions to further enhance its conventional attack capability, including JASSM stealth cruise missiles, which allows the aircraft to strike targets from a greater distance; The EGBU-28, which combines both global positioning system and laser guidance for increased operational flexibility (all weather) and adaptation of the 500 pound JDAM. The B-2 previously used this system only to guide 2,000-pound bombs. The smaller warhead enables the B-2 to increase the potential number of JDAMs carried per flight from 16 to as many as 80.
They are encouraging people to vote only once a day from now until December 15th. A strong finish will help spread the word about the need for international support of real democracy in Iran.

the writer is very funny
"It is possible to determine that at long ranges - more then 600 kilometers - the IAF is capable of a few surgical strikes, but it is not capable of a sustained air campaign against a full array of targets,"
when Iran is contemplating nuking israel, which is hardly surgical, why would israel want to target surgically?
fair is fair and we are talking struggling for survival.
and its not just israel that needs to worry. all of western europe needs to share the concern.
imo
Anyone recall the "Samson Option"???
This is very scary stuff. I read the article the other day about only having 4 months to 'do' something. Maybe this is why some people don't like to read the news...
It is a nuclear shell game to be sure.
Iran sets up point defence under the guidance of Russia and Israel...or the U.S. has to figure out what is where.
so ya....the goodies could be in a facility with no point defence at all.
The gambit is that you will not notice or have intel.
Israel and U.S. have the prowess here to know what is where.
You only have to blow a corridor thru to defeat point defence.
a point defence system has millisecs for its circuit protection system to react to EMP and other RF attack.
then there is turn around time on firing banks.
a sustained corridor attack or multi directional attack will beat it.
Iran is just barely financing this gambit.
Their nation is in some serious fiscal trouble.
a failure to keep their missiles could be the final straw which pulls the entire ride down on Mullahs heads.
Iran would need time and money to get back to where they were before they got hammerd.
Israel can achieve this...and can destroy Irans nuclear facilities if they want.
their is reprocussions either way.
The U.S. has to decide wether its in their interest to let Israel do this....or make pledge to do it themselves.
or formally issue in the U.N. that any tactical attack on Israel will be answered by the U.S. military with zenith power.
Iran will lose this gambit.
and....Russia may even be the greater loser.
My above post 11 is to Phil and All : )
JASSM a 2,000-lb class airborne weapon developed by Lockheed Martin, features a stealthy composite airframe that makes it extremely difficult for enemy defenses to successfully combat. Ninety-five percent of the fuselage surface area and load bearing structure is manufactured using braided carbon fiber preforms supplied by Fiber Innovations Inc.
Is the machine braiding this body-snatcher not delicious.
Note to Mamoud Ahmadinejani: what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. Burma Shave, Dude.
You don't need sustained attacks against a target after you hit it with NUKES.

These guys couldn't monitor and reveal the Russian WMD transports leaving Iraq in the run-up to the war, and people are supposed to think they know more about Israel's capabilities than the Israelis??
The Supreme Being says Go!.......and be sure to use Multi Pass.
