Easy there, Sham. I think drift's got it figured out:

I found a story from Jerusalem Post which didnt have good news. Old article but said Iran got some missiles from North Korea which would have the range to hit the US. Plus their ability to put small payloads in orbit means they could put a very small warhead (300 Kg) on Washington.

I checked Google earth. Its 1800 km from Venz to the southern tip of the US. The above article says those NK weapons have ranges of 2500 -3500KM.
Yeah 3500 km goes all the way up to the very southern tip of Maine. over to the eastern great lakes and down to eastern texas.

Seems like a GOP contender could make this an issue in the primaries. Obomba probably does want to sit on this info until he benefits the most from it, and do agree with you that Barry does have the mindset of a killer. I happen to think that he is a sociopath as well as a Marxist, but either way, he won’t lose sleep over slaughtering people to gain a few votes here or there.

"He doesnt currently have any missiles which can reach the US from Chavez land."It is less than 2,000 kilometers from the Paraguana Peninsula to Miami. That is within the range of an Iranian Shahab-4, Shahab-5, or Shahab-6 missile.

It’s 1800 km from the two closest points. Depending on the model some sources say their missiles will have adequate range. Some sources say they don’t.

Yes, thats why I put the word in there.
Although some sources indicate he does have missiles with adequate range. The two closest points are about 1800 km using google earths ruler.

I appreciate the comment.
For someone to post such an offensive comment without cause means they are not capable of rational thought. I have no use for such people.

Well, he can target State numbers 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57...Knock yerself out...When they find them I hope someone lets us know...I’m curious to know where they are...
1-50, they need to back off...Not sure if Hawaii or Alaska need to worry too much, but then again they have to deal with the NK threat...
