[quote=BarTopDancer;300581]B. Clinton says the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy is still present.

So there is a right-wing conspiracy to destroy Obama's administration.../QUOTE]

No conspiracy at all, imo. They're not trying to hide it; it's rather blatant.

Actually ya, this was a concern. Same thing with N.Korea being able to reach HI with their weapons.

I'm not sure that I agree with that statement but I suppose it depends on your definition of "delivery mechanism"

I'm talking about missile attacks since that is what is in the news. As I said there are other things that would be of more concern. That said I really have no fear of Iran making any kind of direct attack on the US. More like a fear of them giving or selling something to someone who would.

Unless you mean they'll launch a long range missile from a container ship. Which I also don't consider worth worrying about

I really need to turn off the news again. I end up worrying about stuff like this.

Humm, ya know... A medium range missile launched from a container ship could actually work. The cost guard does not check until the ships approach the US coast line...

Yeah, but the ship responsible can't possibly travel out of range of our bomber jets (post-firing of said missile)

If either country tried anything like firing a missile at us, they'd only do it once. After that, they'd be back to lobbing rocks. Radioactive ones.

Won't matter if it's full of martyrs (of any religion/country).

And I suspect delivering a package like that would be a huge draw to those drawn to anti-West/anti-America martyrdom.

Well, assuming you could somehow launch a missile of some value from a container it may not even be entirely necessarily for anybody on board the ship to know it is there.

But I'd say this particular category of attack is pretty much in James Bond territory. If you have martyrs and bomb stuff there are much simpler and likely more effective routes to take.
