"Champagne" Frank Gaffney on the Iranian Threat

Frank Gaffney is a regular guest on Hugh Hewitt's show, Hugh calls him Champagne Frank because his personality is about the exact opposite of someone who would have that nickname....besides, he doesn't drink. This isn't meant to make Gaffney to sound like a guy with no personality, he's a "to the point", serious and bright man, he'd have to be, Frank heads up the Center for Security Policy in Washington D.C.

  • Here's Frank's article
  • on the threat of Iran's nuclear capability, here's an excerpt:

    A blue-ribbon commission's report to the Congress last year (http://empcreport.ida.org/) found that a single nuclear weapon detonated in space high above the United States could unleash an immensely powerful electromagnetic pulse (EMP). An EMP wave a million times stronger than the most powerful radio transmitter would damage or destroy the electrical grid and unshielded electronic devices upon which our society utterly depends. The effect (visualized in a short video available at www.WarFooting.com) could be "catastrophic" — possibly reducing America from a 21st Century superpower to a pre-industrial society in the blink of an eye.

  • Here's that video
  • showing what could possibly happen should such a missile were to be deployed.........crazy stuff!
