On their website, the Fox News Channel asked the question, "How would you handle Iran thumbing its nose at the U.N. deadline?" Here is my seven step response. First: I would identify 30 - 50 nuclear threat targets and confirm their exact coordinates with at least three different intelligence organizations. Second: I would use my best spyware to track Ahmadinejad's exact location. Third: I would pick a time and place when I can confirm Ahmadinejad's expected long term presence at a place which offers minimal collateral damage. Fourth: I would launch a series of Tomahawk missiles on Ahmadinejad's confirmed location. Fifth: I would launch a series of Tomahawk missiles on the 30 - 50 confirmed nuclear threat targets with a coordinated destruction time within 10 minutes of killing Ahmadinejad. Sixth: I would reach out to the new Iranian leader and ask him to discuss the unconditional dismantlement of Iran's nuclear program. Seventh: I would repeat steps one through six until Iran is in full compliance with my no-nukes policy.
So ... lather, rinse, repeat?
I LIKE IT!!!!!!!!
THAT is a well thought out plan.....actually the best 1 I have seen so far.
When do we start the bombing?
I wonder if Alan realizes that the targeted assignation of foreign head of state you have not declared war on is basically a war crime...

Again with the pansy approach to this war. PLEASE, for 1 moment realize they are NOT interested in what a war crime is. But, for your logic, is it a war crime to call for the destruction of another nation? Is it a war crime to hold Anmerican hostages in 1979 like HE did. Is it a war crime to funnel money to an organization that wears no uniforms, hides in the general population while starting a war.
Also, Tomahawks take a L O N G time to get to their targets. They are subsonic and often fly circuitous routes to avoid giving away their final aiming point. By the time you launch and detonate, Nutjob will be elsewhere.
BTTT
People here will eventually figure out that the Islamofascists are coming for us.
Unfortunately, the light bulb may not come on until we are running and dodging them in the streets. They are relentless and they are NOT politically correct and they won't stop until we are all dead. What part of that is so hard to understand?
Fighting fire with fire is the ONLY way this conflict will be solved. It tears me up that we have way more capability than we need to fix this. But we must be PC and a bunch of people have/will died as a result. Sickening!
"the targeted assignation of foreign head of state you have not declared war on is basically a war crime."
The initial, pre-invasion action in Iraq by the US, as I recall, was an attempt to decapitate by hitting Sadaam in a place where we believed him to be. If we had succeeded, would that have been a war crime? We were not (and are not yet) in a Constitutionally legal state of war with with Sadaam's regieme or its remnants. But maybe the Congressional authorization to use force makes us "at war" for legal purposes.
Is it a war crime if an atomic bomb accidently lands on the Ad-man's head?
I understand the anger and the franstration. But how can we talk about nuclear attack on Iran? Have you ever heard of nuclear fall out? Do you know what the distance is between Iran, W. Europe, Israel? May be I don't understand something, so if there is anyone who is more familiar with our unconventional capabilities can comment? Are there any new smaller and more taktical nukes in our arsinal? I mean is there a way to drop a nuke on the relativly small target without poluting the whole area?
Ignore Iran. The 12th imam didn't show. It's over.
an M80 warhead on a Tomahawk, with an adjustable yield of 5-150KT would not create a huge fallout cloud. It would, however, make a very clear point.
