This Is What A US Strike On Iran's Nuclear Facilities Could Look Like

Washington D.C. foreign policy think tank the Center For Strategic & International Studies took a long hard look at what it really means to thwart Iran's nuclear ambitions, what it would take, and what it could lead to in a report released yesterday.
The speculation that Israel can go it alone against Tehran remains, but the specifics of what's required by a US attack to put the nuclear program in the dust is outlined in detail. At least 16 F-18s, and 10 B-2 bombers carrying 30,000 pound Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs, would initially be required by US forces.
Iran's retaliation would be another story entirely with a massive incoming missile salvo directed about the entire region. When that happens a full Ballistic Missile War could ensue with untold US space, air, sea, and land elements coming into play.
Some illustrations of the possible outcomes are below.

Obama is a Marxist. As a Marxist, it is his philosophical duty to remain in power by any means possible. Not only is it his duty it is morally correct in the Marxist philosophy.
Something will happen between now and the election in November.
As I have aged I have come to believe there is little to limit madness. When we (US, Israel?) attack I suspect we will find the Iranians far farther along and much more dangerous then we ever believed.
It was successfully tested in the Pacific on a very remote island. In fact, it worked too good and they decided to never test it again because of the results.
and to think that that tiny nation has become the beacon of freedom and democracy, leaders of western man doing what America should be shouldering!
Sounds like that famous line from Aliens 2(?):
Nuke them from orbit; it's the only way to be sure.
Old school carpet bombing has worked out pretty well for us, and we have a lot of the good stuff we can drop on them. Think of it as a rodeo round-up, but with cowboys using bombers instead of horses. A few good bombing runs to scare the living sh!t out of them, and then some more to soften them up a bit. Add some Naval and Army ordinance, along with some Marines to plow the road, and it woud make for an interesting afternoon. Of course we have a spineless turd for a CIC, so all of this is just wishful thinking.
They were deployed:
During Desert Storm the Marine Corps dropped all 254 CBU-72
A real hoot would be one or two well placed EMP missiles that plunge Qom and Teheran into darkness, this is all you need in my opinion. Make Qom into an unlit zero-electric zero-electronics chaos, this will severely spook the Mullahs who run the show. These fat Mullah savages love modern comforts, modern transportation and modern communications. Take this away from Qom and you will undo the current rule by Mullahs
:’(
Where is that from?
Just like all those fancy graphics at the top, someone probly just dreamt it all up. Found it on the web some late night and thought it looked cool.
I kinda hope that we actually do have more hi-tech/powerful weaponry than that floating around up there. And since this kinda thing is way above Obozo’s pay grade, he really doens’t need to know a thing about it.
“Obama would never authorize anything that would help Israel. Just the opposite.”
The big question is would our troops carry out orders that are ‘Just the Opposite’?
Orbiting nuclear platforms are banned by treaties but if there are any that mockup is a good representation. Too many fuel tanks though
I could certainly agree with that. But I’m afraid that Owebama is working a totally different track. He wants power here. Any way he can get it. If he can take the US down, his mullahs have free reign. He’s got to be in office to do it, though. And he’s no longer a hero. Somehow he has to become a hero again to Americans first. That’s dangerous.
The typical low yield EMP would have a 300 mile effective radius of the center-point of ignition at 20km altitude. One EMP could effectively turn out the lights on all the major population centers of the country.
