Iran successfully test-fired a submarine-launched long-range missile in the Persian Gulf, Iranian state television reported on Sunday.

The test was part of a continuing series of military exercises the Islamic Republic began earlier this month.

I hope you realize when you underestimate your enemies you play right into their hands. Iran is not the Congo.

Excellent input. People who want to both FACE the truth and PREPAIR for it only have to look at LA (twice) and New Orleans. The government will not protect you OR your family in a melt down. If we (read when we) are hit it wont be with airplanes. This is going to be a shooting war and we have 100,000+ Islamic Fascist's living in the US right now who will gladly put a bullet in your/your wife/your child's head when the war comes. What are you going to do? Call 911?? Bury your head in the sand at your risk... but it's coming.

"I hope you realize when you underestimate your enemies you play right into their hands"

Whatever gave you the impression that any of us underestimate Russia?

"We should "disappear" all Iranian subs. No announcements, no claim of responsibility, just make them go away."

Yes. Iran wouldn't know what hit them, and it would be a wise move to make now.

I wonder how many conservatives, GOPers will not write the Prez and demand cooperation with Israel to take out this threat militarily? Two, three more years with no W in office could see nuclear radiation on our soil instead of theirs. Frankly, I would love to see them glowing by the end of August!!

Does anyone believe that when the war with Iran starts up we won't take out everything Iranian that floats in that 120 ft deep Arabian gulf?

It's almost like they want us to take them out."

He wants a reason to launch.

I think you're off by about 10 minutes.

I've got a buck that says this Iranian sub was in the sights of a US sub before, during, and after this launch and the Iranian skipper never knew it.
