#1 News flash, moron. The US uses the heat from the launch and boost phase to track ballistic missiles. They only use radar later.

So... maybe find another way to launch your missiles without fire? A camel-Hummus powered missile maybe?

#2 What they don't say is it can evade the cutting edge radar from the Battle of Britain.

#3 I wonder if General Salami will mention the invisable hummus was developed by Inshallah Industries.

#7 I wonder how much sh$$ the Iranian generals would generate if one of our Trident boats came down into that part of the Indian Ocean and fired off four or five missiles - all targeting Iran. I'm sure their plans to "wipe out Israel" and develop home-grown nuclear weapons would suffer a slight setback...

#9 "Socialism aided by MSM" is always under the radar. Use that on your missile.
