#1 Stick around folks, it's just half-time. After the game we've got a really, really big fireworks display right here on the field. You won't wanna miss it.

#2 We need to turn the airspace above Iran into a battle laser track & terminate testing range. Non-civilian flights and all launches should be viable targets.

#3 The missile was destroyed in flight

By whom? Allan?

#4 Orders for Patriot missle batteries have increased substantially to countries in Europe...

I wonder what Syria will do whilst its sugar daddy is getting a beat down? I hope Musharaf takes some notes.

#5 Don't worry though, It's just for launching satellites. And they only want plutonium for academic purposes.

#6 i doubt the chances of Patriot intercepting Shahab 4. It isnt designed for 4000km range missiles.

#8 I wonder what the European elites think of that idiotic President Reagan's "Star Wars" proposal now.

#10 If the fuze is lit on a Shahab and it even LOOKS like it's headed toward France, our worries are over. I suspect Jock will send a multi-warhead whopper directly into Tehran and vic. Just my guess.

#11 Interesting point, CH...

So, um do the French have their own launch detection satellites - or do they rely upon the US (via NATO, perhaps)???

Lol. I smell opportunity...

#12 Hopefully, information of that nature won't be found in an open forum such as this.

#13 "Jacques? George. Hey, there's a big one headed right for you. Or maybe not -- I can't tell what this blinky thing means, but Don sure seems worked up about it. Oh well, your call."

#14 The Map > Greenland is mostly toast - OTOH, the Clintons, for now, are safe in Naw Yawk regardless of whether the missle is from Iran or North Korea. I doubt the Russians or Chinese will ever allow it, unless of course they're put in control Iran's missles.
