Iran 'Estatic' With Chinese Missile Navigation System

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps last week demonstrated the integration of a system that turns the Shihab-3 intermediate range ballistic missile from a flying metal tube into a dealy weapon against Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the United States.

The Shihab-3's problem has not been it's range, but it's accuracy. The missile, based on the North Korean No Dong, was not accurate.

The Iranians appear to have changed all that.

The propaganda war has begun. Iran wants be a player in the Nuke War. North Korea seems to be willing to be "Not Attacked".

Iran will be agressive with their nukes--first Israel, then the US. It's just a matter of time.

Then it now clear that there is absolutely no way that Iran be allowed to complete their nuke reactor and fuel processing facilities.

China needs to understand that we are not going to keep our allies from going nuclear if they help our enemies go nuclear. What's the point? We should go tit-for-tat with them. If they give guided missles to Iran and fail to reign in N. Korea nuc program, we should give a dozen long range nuclear missles to Taiwan and Japan.

The transfer of missile technology from the US to the ChiComs was Clinton's most lasting accomplishment.

Yep, missile accuracy was what Clinton and Sandy Berger gave China. Will Clinton's final legacy be the complete extermination of the Jews or the nuking of America?

Just sitting here shaking my head, wondering when our leaders will wake up to realize their cozy relationship with China is going to cost the lives of our children and grandchildren.

LOL, if only that were true Israel would at last have a natural barrier to the hoards.

Let me see if I get this straight. The Iranians are using a North Korean design with Chinese technology, and they are ecstatic about it?

I am SO very confused as to where the moslems get their claim of superiority.

Sounds like Israel has some bombin' to do.

Which they'll happily hand over to North Korea in exchange for more weapons technology. North Korea can then use this navigation system as a primer for the Tae-po Dong III navigation system, which would give them a highly accurate nuclear-capable missile capable of hitting anywhere in the United States.

In other words: super.

Why isn't it ever reported that Iran is "ecstatic" with running water, 24/7 electricity, or its record of defending civil liberties?

Well, I'm sure Willie made some big bucks when he and his dem buddies (isn't it Boxer's husband with the contacts) sold this military technology to the ChiComs. But, did the Rose Law firm write the contract tight enough so that he gets royalties when the ChiComs sell/lease the same technology to other enemies of the US?

1988 Berlin Discoteque Bombing, Dec 21,1988

I'm familiar with the La Belle discotheque bombing on 6 April 1986, which resulted in Operation Eldorado Canyon against Libya on 14/15 April 1986 and the 21 December 1988 destruction of Pam Am 103, but not a 21 December 1988 Berlin Discoteque(sic) Bombing.

I'd appreciate the details.
