#2 Careful, Frank. You'll hurt the feelings of all those who so desperately want to believe that Wotsisname didn't have WMDs.

#3 A SAM has a tiny warhead compared to a conventional surface to surface missile. I can't see the logic behind using these unless it is a last, desperate hail mary.

#4 South Korea's first SSM was a modified Nike SAM. Increased payload can be traded for less range.

I can't see the logic behind using these unless it is a last, desperate hail mary.

Flatter trajectory and muli-mach speeds means less reaction time.

#5 ION WMF > USDOD ANTI-INTERVENTION STUDY EXPLORES OPTIONS ON HOW US FORCES CAN SUCCESSFULLY FIGHT AGZ MILITANTS ON A LIMITED TACTICAL NUCLEAR BATTLEFIED-THEATER.

IIRC as INDIA = INDJUH MIL would describe it, A POSSIBLE-BUT-NOT-ABSOLUTE/REQUIRED
"UMBRELLA/OVERHANG OF NUCLEAR WARFARE-WEAPONS" BATTLE CONDITION.

IOW, the USDOD = USA is anticipating that ISLAMIST-WORLD MILTERR GROUPS WILL IN TIME DE FACTO "GO NUKULAAR", i.e POSSESS VARIOUS TYPES OF ADVANC NUCLEAR, TAC + STRATEGIC NBC-CBRN(E) WEAPONS.

"DIRTY", OR OTHERWISE.

* Lest we fergit, NEWSMAX > THE JIHADI DECADE COMETH.

Once again, the most dangerous period of the WOT for the US-WORLD LIES AHEAD OF US, NOT BEHIND US, + IS EXCLUSIVE OF ANY LT LOCAL, GLOBAL ECON PROBLEMS.
