...and who have stolen the wealth of the Muslim nation What wealth? Muslims don't create wealth. In fact, as soon as Muslims move into a neighborhood the property values plummet just by pure assumption that they're gonna suck as neighbors. Muslims are to wealth, as snails are to a garden.

It's time to twist the boot on Jordan's neck a bit.

"Thank you Israel and America for the gift of the Gzza strip. Thank you Condi Rice for saying this was just the 'first step', here is our 'second step'"
Or so Islam states.
"..and who have stolen the wealth of the Muslim nation,.."

I knew it was an AMPHIB, but mistook it for an LPD. Thanks for clarifying.

Two rockets missed the USS Ashland, an American naval ship docked in the port The third rocket hit a taxi on the outskirts of Eilat airport, but did not explode, Israeli police reported.
Open miracles.

Cause when you pull into port you shut down your automatic systems. Don't want the computer bagging a passings taxi cab, it tends to piss off the natives.

My wife was transferred off of the USS Ashland just prior to their deployment for her "pregnancy tour." She knows a lot of people on that ship... not to mention one of our best friends has a husband on the Ashland.
Glad the stupid terrorist can't aim.

USS Ashland is an LSD. It is outfitted with a MK15 Phalanx CIWS system capable of firing 4000 rounds/minute.

There are no loose lips here. I've not posted any information that isn't well-known public info. Hell, I don't have access to anything that isn't well-known public information for that matter.
You can look up oodles of information on LSD's on the internet that will tell you more than you ever wanted to know about the capabilities of the Ashland and the CIWS systems... at least the non-Classified stuff. But I don't know any of the classified stuff either, nor do I want to.
The saying "Loose lips sink ships" applies primarily to ship movements, locations, and battle strategies... things to which I'm not privy. As a Navy Instructor, I actually taught a course on levels of confidentiality and classifications. Of course the course I taught was just a primer, but I still think I'm pretty qualified to judge what the saying means.
Of course as an FR mod, I also think that you are qualified to tell me to STFU. :)
