Cliff May describes possible Iranian nuclear strike on US...

[txprog]

Heard him on the Hugh Hewitt show yesterday. Crazy ramblings about missiles launched from ships that detonate in outer space reigning down terror on us all.

Do these guys really believe this stuff? Of course they told us that Iraq had un-manned drones that could fly half way around the world, through NATO and US defense mechanisms, and deliver a WMD on a US city. And our media reported this as if it were fact, seemingly without question.

Yes, an Iranian strike against us or Israel is something we really need to worry about. I'm sure the Iranian leaders just can't wait to get blown off the face of the earth.

1. Cliff May is barking mad

Not to put too fine a point on it. Since Edward Teller died, he has apparently assumed the mantle of craziest motherfucker on the planet.

2. And that's one of the best deterrents of all.

The Iranians know if they attack anyone, they can be obliterated in a matter of hours.

Our toys are still bigger than their toys.

4. As for myself

An Iranian strike against the US is my main concern, after all, Israel can take care of itself.

6. Lewis Carroll once wrote about a girl in Wonderland

It was also a work of fiction.

Cliff May reminds me of Joe.

8. it'd be 100x easier

to just sneak one into one of the ports by sea... didn't we outsource the port security to dubai or some such crap under *?

9. Israel has how many nuclear weapons?

Federation of American Scientists say somewhere around 70, based on 1o-year-old info from the Defense Intelligence Agency.

That would take care of Tehran and just about any other capital in range.
