Tell the iranians that if they build a working weapon that we will use nuclear weapons on every nuclear site they have, and will throw out their regieme.

We already have somewhat makeshift versions operational. The Peacekeeper MX missiles had their nuclear warheads converted for kinetic warheads.

Chinese too. We must beat both to weaponising space.

I seem to remember something a coupla years ago about micro-nuke bunker busters. Seems like just the hammer for this particular nail, doesn't it.

When it comes to building things on one side and blowing stuff up on the other, the folks blowing stuff up always have an inherent advantage.

Yeah, but as the Standard article points out, if we launched an ICBM with a kinetic kill warhead against Iran it would look a lot like an inbound nuke to both the Russians and the Chinese.  Not conducive to continued breathing for any living organism in the northern hemisphere.

The Russians and Chinese will go as far as helping each other out, to prevent the US from weaponizing space.

Putting a Davy Crockett inside a bunker buster comes to mind.

Yeah. That is why the press should not know about it. Unfortunently we have a very treasonous press.

Marvin Kalb really pisses me off. He has a great resonant voice that sounds credible, sounds authoritative. He came up the hard way - Ive read his biographical data. He is obviously very high IQ.

BUT he just doesn't get, will never get what Jihad and Muslim conquest are all about. He hasn't a clue about the Muslim mind set. I'm sure he's been all over the world and to many Muslim nations but I understand Islam better than him. I've been to Israel and driven through the West Bank, that's as close as I've come to Islam.
