#1 reports elsewhere say that Iran has announce 'it will fire' the missile

most of these reports say it is a air to ground device fired from a fighter (which if true means the missile can travel at least as far as the fighter - and we know Iran has fighters with at least 1200 km range - assuming they don't have to return to base)

#2 STARS-N-STRIPES > seems US ELITE FORCES left behind to advise and train Iraqi Mil-Sec are worried the OBAMA ADMIN's PLANS TO DOWNSIZE THE US PRESENCE IN IRAQ will take away their WAR-INSURGENCY-WINING TECH(S) and LEAVE THEM EITHER MOSTLY FOOT-BOUND, OR ELSE RELIANT ON OLDER IRAQI MIL EQUIPMENT ON PAR [read, NOT COMBAT/FIELD-SUPERIOR OR DOMINANT] TO THAT OF THE MILITANTS???

IOW, HOW CAN ANY ISLAMIST HIDDEN-IMAM/MAHDI LOSE UNDER THESE KINDS OF SELF-IMPOSED [pro-Islamist]ENEMY LIMITATIONS, etc. OR STRATEGIC ENVIRON???
