the message is unmistakable. Attack us and our missiles will rain hell on Israel.Is the anti-missile program up to stopping any Iranian retribution? The stakes are staggering yet to do nothing will have us all pay a much higher price. Will the Cold-War mindset of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) be effective against Iran?? Brrrrrrrrrr. Chilling.

Earlier (when they tested the Shahab and Ghadr missiles) it was unknown whether they tested the Ashura missile or not...

It's interesting that we're not seeing information from the press about the Musudan missile. But then the press is trying to fool us into believing that Iran is only building up against Israel.

Whew!! Good thing they stopped their nuclear weapons program, and are just enriching Uranium for nuclear energy for electric power. Power for a country which happens to float on sea of oil. Yeah that makes sense.

The message is clear, the target is America. Israel is 300 miles away, the old skuds would work just fine. The range improvement is to work towards hitting America, the firing of the missile on the day of the American peace treaty is clearly defining the target and the last imam is supposed to lead the Muslims in the last jihad to kill all the infidels of the earth.

It is chilling alright, we are hoping MAD will constrain a madman, which is pure insanity. Our state department fits the old saying perfectly, "Thinking themselves wise, they become fools..."
