File under: Govt of Iran

#1 The new system is due to be deployed before US President George W. Bush leaves office in January 2009

Shh . . . Hear that? Is it the sound of a Warthog's gattling gun or the sound of the Iranian leadership's a$$holes all spasming in unison?

#2 Just park an Aegis equipped ship in a port and "Presto" a anti-missile defense system in place.

#3 I don't think you are too far off P2k. I think we will always have at least one Aegis in the gulf area that has the Anti-missile system on board.
Also, this has been in the works for a while. Arrows have been programed to work with either system. The theory being that the US might buy them, or they can be used with US technology. I am happy to see a new radar in the region. It can be used not only for Iran, but for most of the surrounding countries.

#4 Speaking of which, Ukraine would be a wonderful addition to the Aegis family.

#5 The X band radar provides more warning time and a more accurate track, thereby improving the hit probability of Israel's Arrow missiles.

#6 Speaking of which, Ukraine

The radars are pointed in the wrong direction (Mediterranean and Africa), but the political message has been delivered to Moscow.

#7 Now, how do we git all of Iran's ASSatollas to slip on bananna peels and fall 100 feet?

#8 Ok, use that new air laser to start writing messages from allen onto their buildings stating that their leadership is not the way of allen blah blah. Write it big. Now, they can't erase the message because it is a memo from allan else piss off the people - which would work too. After a while, turbins just start randomly catching on fire.
