Might be a good idea to find out where this ship is currently berthed.

Do any of you remember back in February when we heard about the 3 missing Iraqi ships that possibly held MWD's?? Were they ever found and if not could this one be one of them??

I don't remember it, but if it's true, it should definitely be looked into ASAP.

Well let's look at it this way. They have the means, men, and fortitude to try and hit us in multiple ways.

Let's just hope our forces here are set up in such a way that they are able to to deal with each front before/as it arises.

Let me also note that I have a lot of faith in our forces here at home but sadly I doubt they will be able to stop each and every planed hit (especially if it's multiple hits at one time).

re post no. 1323 --- Yep. That's a photo of the Salah Aldeen, but I thought I read somewhere that it was scrapped. Wonder if that was true...no verification.
