I'm not sure I agree with that, now that I think even more about it. Certainly at the core of Veidt's plan was using the reactor that Manhatten helped create, but we dont actually know that said reactor(s) did that whole 'Subtracting of Intrinsic fields' thing. The way they blew up released the sort of energy Manhattan is known for, and I personally believe that what the powers that be believed is that Doc' ported to those cities and basicly 'detonated' himself. Hence their coming together to find a defense against that sort of thing.
As to the IFS, you only actually SEE Veidt use it twice. First to dispose of the dead scientists, and then on John.
But as Lurker notes, if it did the whole Intrinsic field thing, I'd agree with his take as put forward in the linked story.
Hear that thunder rolling till it seems to split the sky?
That's every ship in Grayson's Navy taking up the cry-
NO QUARTER!!!
