#2 They didn't want to tell us that the 'Gates Of Hell' would be opened. And I could agree with them on that point!!

#3 "unseen world" = evil satanic spirits.

We at the FYSM don't rely on "top secret" stuff We will turn your country to a glazed parking lot.

#4 No, "unseen world" = terrorist underground, via Syria and Egypt.

#5 Iran is a tough cookie, I'd like to see GW on TV making a speech right infront of a trident missle, saying something really simple to the Iranians.

#6 Haven't we been buying up all the old, decommisioned Sov Block warheads from Ukraine, etc? IDing the source of a nuke detonation mostly depends on the particular (no pun intended) mix of isotopes and impurities in the core, I unnerstand...

Ba a damned shame if those darned Chechens slipped a stolen warhead into Tehran, huh?

#7 If the attacks are top secret, does that mean we'll never even know they happened? I mean, if they used nuclear or chemical missiles, we'd not only notice, we'd be seriously annoyed; if terrorists started shooting up shopping malls and subway stations, we'd respond strongly. What kind of attack would be top secret?

#8 What kind of attack would be top secret?

Certainly not our own. Should Iran push things too far, our response might be visible (and audible) for several hundred miles.

It's almost gratifying to watch Iran continually provide an endless stream of causus belli for our military. Not that we haven't had a standing excuse for decades now.
