#1 What scary payload are they claiming on those IRBMs?

#2 It also assumes that those missiles can make it past the Standard Mark III on the Aegis ships, the Patriot PAC IIIs, and the Arrows in Israel.

#3 They'll shoot them into the Arab areas of Iran and blame us for it. Two birds with one stone for them.

#4 The Iranians are the biggest bunch of nervous nellies I've ever seen. Maybe they ought to stick to slingshots, bows, and arrows.

#5 "The turbans don't have any idea of what they're playing with."

So true, Fred.

#6 True indeed. The commander in chief of the Revolutionary Guard is an idiot. So much the better for us.

#7 >i>The United States and Israel have said they would prefer to solve the stand-off through diplomacy but have not ruled out a military strike. Military experts reckon the Revolutionary Guard's Shahab-3 missiles have a range of some 2000 km, meaning Israel, US bases in the Gulf and foreign troops in Iraq lie within their range..

I dunno, with Iran's newly-developped "Inshalla" guidance system, could land anywhere.

#8 Did someone say "preemptive"? Sounds like we should be doing serious premptive action.

#9 HC 9827, you captured perfectly my respect for Iranian missile capability. "Inshallah guidance system" - LOL.

#10 I heard this was a modification of the Iraqi developed "Inshallah one guidance system" know as the Iranian "Inshallah four "a" guidance system."
