Good to know. one recent article suggested one bomb over the Yellowstone Calderon and one over the San Andreas would doom us.

Not a must for us, certainly a must for Israel.

The only real way for Iran to strike at America is in their own neighborhood.

They may strike here in America, but doubt it would ever result in crippling attacks. Lone wolf sleeper cell sort of craziness.

We’ve not had a attack on our nations soil since 911. This speaks to the terrorist limited capacity to strike on a large scale here.

These muzzies are just freakin nuts. I pray for Israel.

Best or worst option it is probably inevitable, that or surrender. I guess we could do that, too, everyone to be issued Korans and told to await new instructions from the Ayatollah of New York.

Actually this may all be a setup for the Sunni Hussein to take out both of his main enemies, Jewish Israel and Shia Iran. By making a deal that expedites Shia nuclear capability perhaps he can get Tel Aviv nuked then wring his hands at the perfidy of the ayatollah he trusted and, in the meantime, the remaining IDF subs and land baseds radioactivate much of Iran. Hussein then can finish off what remains of Israel by invasion to safeguard the Arabs in the area from Jew retaliation. Of course that scenario would not take place soon enough for Hussein's 19 month window, so he may have to drop the nuke on Tel Aviv himself and blame the Persians

Just something that occurred to me when I was hearing about the "deal" in the works.

Russia is explicitly allied with Iran.

Hussein wants much more than a deal with Iran. He has some grand schemes to enact a final solution in the Middle East.

What “we” want and need is radically different from what the Sultan in Washington wants and needs.

Obama did not want that to happen on his watch

I suspect that maybe he does want it to happen on his watch and is encouraging just that with this "deal."

The best and most effective alternative is to continue the sabotage.

The idea of a nuke in the Yellowstone caldera presupposes that the magma chamber hasn’t moved or depressurized in 600 000 years.

Iran has been at war with us since 1978. That’s the fact.

Such visionary regimes do not trade power for a mess of foreign goods. Materialism is not their priority: They often sacrifice prosperity to adhere to ideology.

Not true. The clerics live like royalty. It's the rank and file that are denied material goods.

"So, this whole charade of a “deal” was setup to ask Iran to wait until Obama is out of office and then cheat, leaving the next POTUS to decide what should be done."

No question that can be strung out until Sorento's stink has finally left the oval office. But Barry's ONLY concern is what he can claim to be his legacy. It doesn't matter to him that it's all a false facade.

If you remember the Russians walked out of the SALT talks when Reagan deployed missiles in Europe, and came crawling back when it failed.

Actually the second SALT treaty was signed by Carter and the Soviets in 1979 a year before Reagan was elected.

I think you're referring to the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) negotiations, that began in 1983 and the subsequent treaty that Regan and Gorbachev signed in 1987.

That treaty has been mostly scrapped on both sides.

Fired from a container ship lying off the coast in international waters...

That's very possible, and a very big problem. It would be difficult to prevent. And it would be difficult to figure out just who did it.

For example, was it an Iranian container ship, or was it a Russian one rigged up to look like an Iranian ship? Heck, even the Chinese might try to pull off an attack, then make it look like the Russians were responsible.

These are times when the steady and firm hand of a Ronald Reagan is needed. Instead, we have, well, you know.

I agree. The next year and a half will be perilous.
