Isn’t that what Sadaam used against Israel during the gulf war?

Yeah but that was better than 20 years ago. They launched a bunch of them at Israel and Suudi Arabia but I don't think they killed more than a handful of people.

Point and shoot, they fall out of the sky in the general vicinity of the target.

All the technology that we have sent to Iraq is falling into the hands of Isis. That probably includes aircraft. It was just in the news today that Russia has sent fighters to Iraq. Those might end up in the hands of Isis too. This is what happens when you give things away instead of using them yourself.

Showing it off is one thing, fueling it and launching it is quite another.

Yup, it's almost certainly a useless hulk. It may even have been buried somewhere for years, dug up once Saddam's regime was wiped away, and dumped in a warehouse.

We have more to worry about these radicalized types coming back to Western countries and pulling lone wolf or small group shootings. In fact, I've always thought the greatest weakness of these terrorist types is their determination to pull off the big event instead of just sending 30 guys with basic sniper rifles to cities all over the US, UK, etc. I live in the DC area and remember the Beltway Snipers, 2 guys in a crappy car, caused immense chaos and fear. Now just imagine a bunch of jihadi's doing that in say 10-15 cities at once.

Israel doesn’t bomb cities. Israel targets specific locations and the people and assets in them. Just sayin’

I was just reading JPost:

The United States issued a measured response to the murder of three Israeli teenage boys on Monday...In a statement issued to the press, US President Barack Obama balanced a message of empathy as a father with a call for restraint from a leader familiar with spiraling conflicts in the Middle East...Obama called for Israel and the Palestinian Authority to continue cooperation between security forces to find the perpetrators of the act and bring them to justice.

Still have a feeling that missing 777, is going to show up courtesy of ISIS.

Did they even use their SCUDs in the last round of war?

Saddam tried to hide stuff in order to keep in safe from the cruise missile and other targeting systems. Basically, when it gets turned on, it gets blown to hell.

We first put a bunch of AWACS in the area, and then fly some Wild Weasel missions to get them to turn on their targeting radars. Then we blow them to bits.

SCUD launch facilities suffer the same fate, usually picked out from satellite picture differences.

Saddam was happy when he found out his Super Troopers were going to engage us. The thrill lasted about fifteen minutes, the time it took for reports to start coming in.

They probably got it from Syria, not Iraq.

Yawn. I’m more concerned about all the Manpads and a repeat of the loss of life in Iran in ‘79.

Mind you, not the embarrassment to POS, but just the loss of brave souls on a garbage mission to clean up the legacy of POS...
