The missle threat is probably overstated. Remember that nobody pays attention to no news. News has to have splash. Yes, the missle is a threat. So what? It's beyond dumb to counter an attack strategy directly--that tells the enemy what to expect. Instead, use assets the enemy doesn't have and use them to threaten something more dear to him than that which he threatens of yours.
