The attacks would probably not occur in Israel but here in the US. Iran believes that without the US, Israel will be destroyed. Remember that these murderers tried to take out the Pentagon and failed. Once they attack a target, they keep coming back until it is destroyed.

You better believe that NEST groups are busy all over the nation right now, but especially in in high value target areas that would weaken the defense of the nation.

The enemy has only to plant several devices in areas of the nation in order to reduce out strike back ability. The only force that the terrorists are not able to compromise is our nuclear missile submarine fleet when it is at sea.

Just my opinion.

There are about 500 Minuteman silos. Add in the B-52, B-1 and B-2 bases, not to mention all the places where the "special" weapons for the tactical fighters are stored (F-15E,F-16, F/A-18), making for a lot of places that have to be taken out to seriously compromise our ability to nuke a country like Iran, and it's pretty much impossible.

However, IMHO, the Angry Ayatollahs and Insane Imams don't really care if we retaliate. A Martyr for Allah, is a martyr rather they kill themselves, or we do for them. Wholesale paradise, so to speak. If it brings on the 12th Imam, well it'll be worth the "sacrifice", if a bit hard on the virgin supply.

Not even close. There is NO way Iran would be able to take out the ICBM fields in the north. SAC bases are guarded heavily as well. The ONLY place Iran could stroke at us is at political and soft targets.
