If there was such a thing, DEN would get it in spades...Cheyenne Mountain is just down the road.

Not much to hit there these days: From what I've read (despite its Cold War fame), for the past decade Cheyenne Mountain has been operated by a skeleton crew and is only kept on "warm standby" as an alternate NORAD headquarters.

You still have to hit the secondary targets.

There's no point. That's why it's inside a mountain.

Georgia's 4th Congressional District electorate deserves all the credit for that. Congressman Johnson's April 2010 Guam statement was made while he was serving a term to which he was elected in 2008. Checking wiki, he was elected in 2008 with a 99.9% margin (unopposed), after his Guam statement in April, he was re-elected in Nov. 2010 in a 74% landslide.

Way to go Atlanta, thanks for the laughs.

I guess the real question is; "will Guam capsize from all the heavy metals present in a nuclear detonation?"

You truly must be a politician to be a flag officer. I'd have laughed in Mr. Hanky's face.

I doubt they nuke Guam. They'll just use one of their diesel subs to launch a torpedo, break her keel and sink her.

There will be a massive, life changing seismic event/earthquake on the West Coast before there will ever be an attack on Guam. Maybe you should worry about that too.

Now, lets get real, we are talking about Guam. Realistically, how much do 4 missals cost? Is Guam worth it? I get there regularly. Doesn't look like it to me.
