The United States is highly vulnerable to attack from electronic pulses caused by a nuclear blast in space, according to a new book on threats to U.S. security.
A single nuclear weapon carried by a ballistic missile and detonated a few hundred miles over the United States would cause "catastrophe for the nation" by damaging electricity-based networks and infrastructure, including computers and telecommunications, according to "War Footing: 10 Steps America Must Take to Prevail in the War for the Free World."
Let me remember, who was toying with this weapon recently?
Ah yes, the Iranians! Whoa, that was close! I mean, it's not like they are dangerous or anything!
Really, they are peace-loving guys. They just have a sort of nuclear-edged Turette's Syndrome:
"The president has to choose his words carefully. He can convey his message to the world in better language tone," Hamid Reza Taraqi, a leader of a hard-line party, the Islamic Coalition Society, told The Associated Press.
I happen to believe that we should listen to these guys and not try to redefine what they say so we can sleep at night secure in the knowledge that we need do nothing to stop them.
They are conveying their message pretty accurately, people. Listen to them and believe them. And look at the tools they might use to carry out what they proudly proclaim is their duty to do.
