No, I think the attack was a direct hit on the economy. Financial powerhouses are probably the big targets -- and stopping transportation. (commerce)

Like I said, LA and NYC will be targets for WMD attacks. Washington is to spread out. It has national treasures, but decapitating our government will assure destruction a quick and ultimate response.

Keeping Washington in play will assure bickering and confusion.

According to Douglas and Hoeber, Soviet Strategy for Nuclear War the Russians were not targeting Washington. This was for political reasons, they felt the need for the recognized US Government to be intact in order that our surrender be accepted by the US people.

Fooled them...
