Is that REALLY a Rahm Position ?

Holy Shit.

First off a Tac Nuke would never make it to the Carrier.....  but man..that is scary.
would it trigger the war head though, if its taken out ?

Hmmm.......  Would that be considered a "Human made Disaster" by the White House ?

Or, an act of Aggression ?

or an Act of War?

Im pretty sure I can rule out an act of war.   No way an Obama White House would consider that an act of war.

Act of Aggression ??   Hmmmm......    No, Probably it would be considered, " Ummmmm, well,.....ummmm......its seems a rogue element, of ......ummmm.....the ....ummmm  Iranian ....ummmm.... Military,.........ummmmm......acting of his own accord.....ummmmmm.,...ahhhhhh, ummmmm.....well ahhhhhh ...... This rogue element....ummmm...ahemm..aaaahhhhh.....

Launched a missile at our .....ummmm.......the...... ummmm....  Carrier...... ummm, that aaaaahhhhhhhh ..... inadvertently...ummmmm, aaaaaaaa   traveled to close to the Iranian ummmmmm, ahhhhhhh Coast.

We...... ummmm....  need to show.....aaaaaaaa...restraint, .......ummmmm and ....aaaaaaa.... understanding.

This is a Human-made Disaster, .....ummmmm....  and I am now recalling all US Carrier groups back to their ..... ummmm....  Home ports.

So, ummmmm.......... no further human mistakes can be made.

Thank you..... no questions.

Maybe a tactical nuke wouldn't reach the carrier... but...

What if it was just detonated in the ocean in order to cause a tidal wave, so to speak?

Iran is a state run by dangerous religious extremists and the very existence of their regime is an affront to secularists worldwide. The U.S should be the tool to break them.

Maybe they can keep the evil empi....... USA at bay, if Iran were one hundredth as evil as America then we really would have to worry.

(insert facts and reasonable argument)

@ Firewing

With left-wing, Euro-Socialist, Pacifist, Anti-American, Pro-anything that challanges the US, cant we just get along, Anti-Isreal, Anti-logic,  Logic.....with that in mind......I see your point.

You are an idiot, ..... but you used a lot more words to express that......but thats IMHO.

"So,  SCHNEIP, you have no problem w/Iran haveing Nukes."

As i said.. i would way much more prefer if no one would have nukes.
I just dont see the point where we can judge that iran can not have nukes when many others can.

The main problem no one is discussing here in my oppinion is Israel.
WHY can Israel as only country in mid east have nukes?
wouldnt it be easier and safer for everyone to disarm israel of its nuclear force?
why can we not do that? would mean less nukes in the world..a good thing.. and it would take the wind out of irans sails (for sure.. i can not proove that).

OMG BLACKWING IS A FLINT TROLLl!!!

Silly Cat Face!

1: Wow... not one person answered my completely valid reasons why Iran should not have the bomb.  Does that mean I win the debate?

2: @Firewing: Does Iran have a M.A.D. threat against the US, though?  If they build one nuclear weapon... no.  Two?  Probably not.  A hundred?  Oops, still nothing.

Firewing Iran's bio and chem weapons have always been much less than Iraq's. Iraq used weapons on Israel, though no bio or chem, but you saw how quickly every Israeli had a gas mask and tape, plastic sheet rolls, air filtration systems, and more for their houses.

Iran knows that some weapons scare more than others. Gas weapons may be as dangerous in some manners, but since society knows it can handle it if prepared it has less of an effect overall on terror over them.

A nuclear weapon cannot be stopped once detonated. No home preparation will suffice.

Rofl. Your an idiot.

Pure and simple.

Your an idiot.

Israel Area: 8367 sq mi (21671 sq km).

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/bomb/sfeature/1mtfall.html

900 Rem
Distance: 90 miles
A lethal dose of radiation. Death occurs from two to fourteen days.

That is roughly 700-800 square miles per nuke.

10 nukes will kill all life in Israel.

Radius: 20 miles
2 psi

Any single-family residences that are not completely destroyed are heavily damaged. The windows of office buildings have been blown away, as have some of their walls. The contents of these buildings' upper floors, including the people who were working there, are scattered on the street. A substantial amount of debris clutters the entire area. Five percent of the population between the 5 and 2 psi rings are dead. Forty-five percent are injured.

Note the damage radius. This will take out most major cities and much of their suburbs as well. The radiation will kill those in rural area's around the major cities as well as all others in the suburbs.

10 modern nukes would kill the entire population of Israel, and much of the Palestine populations as well. Residual radiation would wash over Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt.
