Really now?

This.....I’d LOVE to see.

Getting the popcorn ready......

Cool - saves a bit of time.

[reefdiver]

Bass boats go that far?

Before you start popping, maybe you should remember who is president.

There you have it....

Well said, S-D...

They really are insane, why on earth would anyone actually want New York City.

[PIF]

Really now?

—

Using large scale teleportation of their coastal navy ... or maybe just some rusting cargo ships?

According to the good admiral the only naval assets the US has are stationed near Iran ... gotta hand it to Iranian Intel for their charming insights ...

We have a 3 mile limit and a 12 mile limit. What’s the difference between the two?

Exactly!

Under this evil bastard, we’re anything but safe. We’re in great danger.

Normally as a cocky SOB on this stuff I have, I'd post something similar, but with Barry Soetoro Hussein in the White Hut, it has really tempered me.

[SusaninOhio]

Under this administration, it is probably true.

Obama has no interest in keeping this country safe and secure and he has made no pretense about it.

Who knows what he has told the Iranians in his secret correspondence to them.

Having a potential threat close to our shores will give the administration cover to force citizens into controllable enclaves, which is the goal of all socialist/marxist/communist leaders.

Iranian naval admiral: ‘If needed, we can move to within three miles of New York’ By Reza Kahlili -

If you think the cost of living is bad in Iran...

A nuclear device, in the stratosphere (30 miles), at the altitude achieved by a simple weather balloon, could create a EMP pulse with a radius of 480 miles. Basically the entire eastern seaboard could be crippled (for years) by an Iranian nuclear device delivered even somewhat close to what this guy is talking about. All he needs is a crude missile delivery system or an East wind.

Nuclear devices aren't really about craters, glass fields, or radioactive fallout. Nuclear devices are about EMPs and what they do to advanced industrial societies.

Yep, they can reach New York.

And all their vessels are dual purposed as submarines. They have the incredible ability to submerge and rest comfortably on the ocean floor at any depth for extended periods of time, years even.

Yup...and become instant fish food.

[GoldenPup]

Nine miles.

[Chode]

from wikipedia, there is also a 200 mile limit

The three-mile limit refers to a traditional and now largely obsolete conception of the international law of the seas which defined a country's territorial waters, for the purposes of trade regulation and exclusivity, as extending as far as the reach of cannons fired from land.

With Obozo in the WH, I believe him.
