Just saw the article on Fox News. Stupid smart phone, pun intended, won't cooperate, so I can't post the link. Very interesting given current events. I don't think this is prompted by our friends in Syria. Maybe some friends somewhere else, though?

But hey, we are drawing down our military because we don't need the capabilities anymore.

Here's the missing link .
Hopefully the drawdown does'nt end up biting us in the future but then again history shows otherwise and unfortunately we have a problem with learning from the past .
Pentagon Calls For 'urgent' Upgrade Of Massive Bunker-busting Bombs, As Iranian Threat Looms | Fox News
Just checked the comments section to this story and uh nevermind

The cool thing about nukes is that even though they might not take out your mountain bunker, although this has been openly debated, they can sure make the service of any facility rather difficult. No milkman, no groceries, no leave and no resupply.

Not to mention the concurrent destruction of fuel and electricity infrastructure. Freezing and starving in the dark gets old real quick.

It gets almost no press, but this war has been going on for quite a while, and Iran is coming out on the short end of the stick.

Some of the ops have been nothing short of amazing.

A look back at recent history recalls several similar examples.

"Project Babylon was a project with unknown objectives commissioned by the then Iraqi president Saddam Hussein to build a series of 'superguns'. The design was based on research from the 1960s Project HARP led by the Canadian artillery expert Gerald Bull. There were most likely four different devices in the program.

The project began in 1988; it was halted in 1990 after Gerald Bull was assassinated, and parts of the superguns were seized in transit around Europe. The remaining components in Iraq were destroyed by the United Nations after the 1991 Gulf War."

The movie "Munich" and the story behind it is also an interesting example of good and evil in action.

As always, those who know don't talk and those who talk don't know.

I have that movie in my collection along with the movie 'Raid on Entebbe' and what's interesting is that Entebbe op was initiated on the same day that the U.S was about to begin celebrating it's Bicentennial.
Not much info going out on those who were responsible for this last take down other than they were 'apparently' caught according to Iranian news .
