Read the article posted earlier in the thread. It was a familysecuritymatters page, and the article was written by a guy who had been on Clinton’s North Korea advisory committee. What he’s saying is that both Iran and North Korea have each more than likely already put 2 super EMP’s into orbit at the precise altitude needed for an EMP attack, ready to be detonated whenever and wherever they decide. Most of our radar is not facing south and there is a gap in the coverage so that if these nukes were repositioned and aimed at that big gaping hole in our radar coverage, the first anybody would know about anything happening would be the effects of the EMP. It would hit the center of the country and within a couple years would kill 200 million Americans.
While I'm sure these evil folks would desire to accomplish this, I'm pretty dubious that they have executed the plan.
I highly doubt that has happened. If the Iranians try something it will more likely be running a tramp steamer up along the NE coast and putting up a missile then detonating it about 50 miles up. It would be easier to scuttle a ship and leave less trace as to who the culprit was.
If the Iranians and/or NK’s had anything up our guys at Cheyenne Mountain would know all about it. They monitor everything that goes up and they can tell you how many times its been around. Plus we have killer satellites in orbit that can take stuff out.
