There is absolutely zero chance of this type of attack against an American city. If US intelligence is seriously concerned about this Islamic entente airborne assault scenario then the West is in some real trouble now.

In a 1995 issue of Albania Briefings Mr D publishing one of the first pictures of a US Predator drone as it based from Gjader, Albania to conduct reconnaissance against Bosnian Serb mobile forces during the Bosnian war. Iraqi drones much less sophisticated now than even those early US models. Launching such an attack would be impossible for a team of Islamic entente sappers in the US.

Much more likely is a Kamikaze style wave of hundreds of drones being launched against US troop buildups in Kuwait. Armed with chemical weapons, only a handful of these getting through would put the US into a real jam. Current air-defence systems in place are not calibrated for such slow moving targets -- what is needed of course are scores of the old Quad fifties to negate this threat in theatre...

Iraqi drones attacking the US mainland? Someone needs to double check and make sure this isn't an early April 1st hoax...

The forces of freedom on the move. Europe trembles.

These are NOT fairy tales. It's real:

"But Powell said U.S. intelligence sources found that one of Iraq's newest UAVs went 310 miles nonstop on autopilot in a test run. That distance is over the 155 miles that the United Nations permits, and the test was left out of Iraq's arms declaration.

Officials tell Fox that there is solid intelligence that Iraq has tested many different types of sprayers on these drones to disperse chemical and biological weapons. "

I live in SE Michigan, Canada is across the river and would be an ideal launching pad for an attack on 4 million people.

The experts said that the waters of Pearl Harbor were too shallow for a torpedo attack, therefore we do not have to be concerned or take precautions.

Do you know what happened on December 7,1941?

Personally, I believe that there is a good chance of it hapening.

It could be a radio controlled model airplane.

"Iraqi drones attacking the US mainland?" Agreed! Whoever wrote the article is either naturally paranoid or suffering from a bad trip.

This fear mongering reminds me of a statement by Hermann Goering:

"Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

– Hermann Goering at the Nuremberg Trials (Commander of the Luftwaffe, President of the Reichstag, Prime Minister of Police Gestapo, Hitler's 2nd man in the Third Reich & Marshal of the German Empire)

Couldn't agree more Fusion!

And let me add, it's an odd day when other posts on the same thread appear more alarmist than yours!
