| Iraq fires Scud toward US troops |
| 2003-03-20 |
| AP Wire Story, via the Boston Globe Iraq fired a Scud missile toward U.S. troops today, but it was intercepted by Patriot missiles, the American military said. Good thing Blixie made sure all the Scuds were gone. U.S. Army troops at Camp New Jersey in the Kuwaiti desert donned gas masks in response to an alert caused by the missile but were given the all-clear a few minutes later. Stay safe, guys. |

| #7 Hey guys, Sammy has been flinging missiles at us pretty regularly this afternoon. We go into our masks/suits/bunkers, wait for the Pats to take em out, and continue on with our business. Don't worry, no hits, and no work hours lost. Minor inconvienience. |

| #6 since reported that they were al0samouds, not scuds. Which stands to reason even if Iraq still has Scuds - why use a scarce long range missile against a short range target? |

| #3 Doesn't matter if it was defectors. I expect any aircraft are gonna get shot down ASAP if they fly south. |

| #2 Fox News is saying that a small aircraft also went down near the troops...no word if it was an unmanned drone or not |
