YUP there are multiple things out there that can put a quick screwage to us.

Don’t bring a bunker to a nuc party.
Usually, deep bunkers make good tombs.

How hard would it be to simply assassinate the Iranians running this program?

"I believe that by early 2010 Iran will hold threshold technology (for building a bomb). That means that if it wanted, it could develop nuclear weapons within a year from obtaining threshold technology," a senior official quoted him as telling the parliamentary committee.

Judging by past (Wrong!) intelligence estimates, I would guess they have 3-5 A-Bombs by now, well on their way to thermonuclear ones.

I guess we'll have to nuke the entire site from orbit.

It's the only way to be sure.

[ErnstStavroBlofeld]

They are already on their way to minitiurizing the bomb which will allow them to MIRV and work on a hydrogen bomb.

At least we might find Jimmy Hoffa?

It depends.

It depends what side you are on. When the $hit hits the fan the results will be of biblical proportions right down to divine intervention.

Rest assured in those prophecies.

And choose your path accordingly!

[A CA Guy]

Optimist!

[himno hero]

Who? The Iranians?

[SierraWasp]

If that’s a MIRV strike depiction, what’s that rocket in the background doin a U turn for???

[ErnstStavroBlofeld]

Its not beyond any of the upcoming nuclear powers. All you need is a supercomputer to design one and time.It did not take the United States and the Soviet Union to have a MIRV capable rocket a long time.

[OCC]

May not look like much now, but they have come a long way quickly.

[ErnstStavroBlofeld]

They have solid fuel rockets which makes them more dangerous. Our missiles are solid fuelled rockets and they are designed to launch on warning.

[mcshot]

Done!

[OCC]

Missfire? Nothing is 100%. 9 0ut of 10 is acceptable in these cases.

[ErnstStavroBlofeld]

The last Iranian missile test was a solid fuelled rocket. Solid fuel rockets are very stable and durable. My rockets are solid fuel. Liquid propellant is very unstable and takes time to prepare. That is not including all the precautions.

You have an awesome FR homepage!

Reminds me of my USAF days (tactical, not strategic).

More my experience with nukes...
