These missiles will,no doubt,be used to propel the peacefully generated nuclear power to distant corners of Iran and will not be used to wipe Israel off the map...as Iran's leaders routinely (and publicly) call for.

Shouldn’t we be test firing our anti-missile defense system in that neighborhood?
To: Pinkbell
Maybe she will play the piano, and that will really get them.
Or even suggest stronger sanctions. That will work because we all know how effective Sanctions can be. Dictators care about their people and do not want to see this happen.
Iran and OPEC have declared War on our economy, and by firing off some Missiles it keeps the price of Crude Oil up, and our economy slows the growth. Brilliant tactic by Iran.

If he was the only problem, it might be a good solution. The “Mad Mullahs” control the Revolutionary Guard, however, and they are a political and military force unto themselves. Ahmedinutjob has little political power without their approval and direction.
Can radioactive oil deposits be exploited, I wonder?

Maybe its Iran just showing a somewhat belated, and elongated 7/4 Independence day celebration, in our honor

Just for fun let’s put a Star Wars intercept in the Persian Gulf and have a test run on the Iranian missiles.
And not say we did it....
(Is that what happened with the N Korean missile tests???)

Let's see, oil tracks down slightly, stock market goes up, a general feeling that the worst may be over....Then? Iran “test” fires some missiles, oil goes back up, stock market plunges, doom and gloom returns. There is a war already going on and the Iranians know that they can effect the oil markets at will. We have met the enemy and he enemy is us. OPEC has realized that they can bring the great American economy to it's knees at will and pocket billions of dollars in the process.
The sad thing is that we have no one but ourselves to blame. Instead of pushing back at OPEC by showing our willingness to develop our oil resources, we plan to build windmills and drive hybrids. If this Country would step up to the plate and allow the entrepreneurs who made this country great develop our reserves while simultaneously developing alternative energy and technology, oil prices would drop accordingly.

I hope they run out of missiles playing their saber rattling game.

Fox and Friends showed some video that purported to show the launches. It was impossible to gauge the size of the missiles. The exhaust plumes were irregular with erratic sparks flying, not uniform tongues of fire one usually sees with a shuttle or ICBM launch. I’ve witnessed night Minuteman launches about as up-close and personal as it is safe to be.(1500M)
These missiles looked crude to my eyes.

We should have some of our new jets take a quick and sudden flight over Tehran, specifically where their Mullahs, Ayatollahs, and “President” live.

That would be nice, but the F-22 is not being deployed to Iraq. Apparently Gates does not want to send the “wrong” signal to Iran.
To: Westlander
How many of these “test” firings until one of these missles accidentally hits a U.S. warship, ala USS Vincennes? The Navy theatre commanders and the Pentagon brass had better be on their toes.

I sure do hope the UN writes Iran a letter telling Amadjihad how angry they are about this. /sac
