I am concerned about the sudden popularity of surface-to-air missiles. This parallels what we did against the Soviets in Afghanistan some thirty years ago now, and it would be good to know where these weapons came from. I have a very short list of suspects.

And I would hope the factories are leveled, as a example for those who would arm terrorist.

Exactly, this is three in the past week, my list has one name on it. We should start hitting everything that comes into Iraq from Iran and F-18 strikes on where the vehicles came from.

It was probably a rocket propelled grenade. That is how they brought down the Black hawks in Somalia. WE gave them the missiles in Afghanistan. They are not something cheap or easy to pick up nor something any of the enemy states are just going to hand out to terrorists. WE could afford to do it. None of our foes have that sort of economic muscle.
