Hopefully, this is Bush’s fault.

Our soldiers may be bit safer

Unfortunately, Our Soldiers cannot rely on the loyalty of Elected Democrats like Reid, Clinton, Obama, Murtha, Edwards, Pelosi, Klobachar, ect.

Let’s see? Does the red wire go here, or does the green wire go there? Oh, well. it’s almost lunch time. Lunch, launch, it’s just depends on how you pronounce it. No big deal.

>>> Solid fueled IRBM are a vastly more difficult to make ...<<<

That point is at least arguable. I worked on Titan I and the commplexity of piping to cool the nozzles, the turbine pumps for fuel and LiquidO2, the requirement to vent the O2 boiling off before launch, the thermal expansion and contraction issues from 273 deg Kel to 6,000 deg F, all make it a very difficult bird to manufacture and launch.

A solid fuel missile is basically a pipe with a mixture of an oxidizer and fuel that has been solidified. Put a few thermite firecrackers in the azz end and you got yourself a rocket. A bit of an oversimplification....maybe, but you get my point.

The V-1 was a ballistic missile. Flys in a parabolic arc. It had fins....but no wings.

A cruise missile flys like an airplane...point to point in a more or less straight line....with wings.

Oops...your right. The V-1 was the cruiser...I was thinking V-2. Sorry....bit quick on the trigger.

I don’t believe that the Iranians have anything close to a ‘cruise’ type missle.

The Iranians have for some time fielded the Chinese "Silkworm" anti-ship cruise missile. It wouldn't surprise me if the Iranians were building their own copies by now.

Apparently that’s a big reason we can’t let Pakistan fall to Islamofascists - Pakistan has much better missile tech.

Parts of the Parchin site are devoted to conducting research on uranium enrichment using laser technology.


Not any more.

Sad to say, that area does not clearly appear to have suffered damage. It’s certainly inside the mountain not in the open facilities.

Possible but not easy with govt. vigilantes everywhere and paid informers and brown nosers.

A bit like in Nazi times people in Islamic Iran give up their own families let alone neighbors, to curry favor. Feeding others to the crocodiles to be eaten last but they do not understand this.

Having said this, we reportedly have boots on the ground in various areas - obviously the less known the better.

Well. We will see what we can do about that.
(I’m kidding. We have no such plans.)
