350?
That's why they invented MIRVs.
Here is where I start hoping we have such things as stealth cruise missiles (though I would rather save them for China *when* they attack Taiwan -- as they sure as hell will).
I think we have enough missles to do the job.
Oops, sorry, I'm getting my Debka stories crossed here. That was Afghanistan, not Iran.
DEBKA?? No more needs be said. Israel can/will take out their capability in one quick strike, only a few targets need be hit to cripple the program for many years.
Or great big mothers

Yeah, 350? Is that all? Let's go for it.
They've reported that the Marine Corps' desert warfare training facility is in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Israel will have to take out Tehran and other major cities to fully break the will of Iran. These Mullah nukes are going to be too well hidden to think surgical strikes will suffice.
It will be the greatest human disaster since WWII. Israel has been at war for 50+ years. They will survive this and the world condemnation that follows.
All, IHMO of course
So?
"The warhead design is based on implosion"
Newsflash!
No ground troops necessary at all. The beauty of power plants necessary for the job is that the energy signature is impossible to hide.
Send me the coordinates for my target on the secure link.
Okay, we've got an order for 350...can we SuperSize those fries?
Implosion is not the only possible warhead design. Another type is the "gun" type where a slug of uranium is fired into another larger uranium core. The implosion design is harder to do but also a lot smaller, as it uses plutonium.
Okay, as far as I'm concerned, time's up. It's time to hit them and end this.
I agree. Iran would be a nicer place with the corpses of a few dead mullahs rotting in the desert.
With troops in Afghanistan and Iraq this could be a reality sometime after the Iraqi elections in Jaunary. January to March is the best weather for an invasion in the PG.
"Okay, as far as I'm concerned, time's up. It's time to hit them and end this."
If you believe that we need to do this, then doesn't this mean invasion, occupation, and liberation?
How can we wage anything short of all-out total warfare? If our security is truly at risk, then we should either do it all-out or not at all.
Are you prepared for the invasion, occupation, and liberation of Iran?
If need be...with China gearing up for a possible war with Taiwan in the next 24 months or so, it seems to me that there isn't any time to lose.
