Reply #2: Iranian Sunburn missiles and Israel's 200+ nukes [View All]

This could be a very interesting "engagement" for all involved.

The Sunburn missile is exceptionally fast; so much so that our current fleet has no protection from it. (Recall the success of missile attacks against the British during the Falklands War. An "inexpensive" missile can render a multi-million/billion dollar ship useless.)

And it is a widely known secret that Israel has nuclear weapons. The number generally floated is around 200. They don't admit it, and we don't press them on it. (And it's a good thing, since we have laws preventing us from providing aid to countries that are in violation of the NPT.)

This administration has two manuals: the PNAC documents and the Left Behind novels.
