Scud is a series of tactical ballistic missiles developed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The name Scud has been widely used to refer to these missiles and the wide variety of modern variants.

I’m not impressed!
I believe later out Patriot Missile system shot down quite a few of them.
The Scuds were flung at Saudi Arabia. By pure chance one hit a field hospital in Al Khobar and killed 28 Americans
Once losed, there is no idea of exactly where they will land

It’s coming soon I think
That cartoon used to freak me out when I was a kid.
The SCUD? It is so inherently inaccurate that you can barely aim it and hit a city or a country with it.
Iran supports the current Iraqi government, is helping to fight ISIS.
If the ISIS SCUD(s) are being tipped with nuclear or chemical materials, they came from Saddam’s old stockpiles.
Which he didn’t have ... (/sarc)
In very few words you point out exactly where the world is headed due to Obama siding with the Muslims as he promised. Millions are likely to die and the blood will be on Obama’s hands.
The Iraqis didn’t fire SCUDs during 2003 but used early versions of the Al Samouds which they were allowed to have for self defence. It was the Al Samoud 2s that violated the treaty and were destroyed by UN inspectors. What the rebels are displaying here is a captured Syrian Scud. in 2013 they captured the Al Kibar facility that Israel bombed in 2007. Inside the buildings they found SCUD missiles.

No. It is real enough, but likely non-operational. They got it from the Syrian facility in the east of the country that the Israelis bombed back in 2007. See videos from Al Kibar during 2013 when the rebels forced the Syrian Army to abandon it.

“The SCUD is a terror weapon and virtually useless tactically.”
Unless it has a nuke or chemical warhead on it.
On the other hand, the rocket ride at “Six Flags Over Tikrit” has been mysteriously closed lately ...

LOL
Drone strikes and snipers, day and night. Until they are all dead or fleeing into the desert.
It would have to be a chemical weapon because nukes small enough to be on a SCUD are difficult to build.
I noticed that, too, a few weeks back.
They took over all the old CW and BW that the left in this country ridiculed W for not finding because they never existed.
Now they not only exist, but they are in the hands of the Islamofascists.
Good job, American liberals.
And W, you should have flipped them off and do what needed to be done.
Before ISIS gets a grand victory, they will have to deal with Russian Pilots and now Iranian pilots flying the Su-25 Frogfoot planes.
It is a safe bet that none of Obozo’s ROE’s for our warriors in danger will apply to the Russian and Iranian pilots. Their orders will be simple, kill the Isis serial killers.

Exclusive: Putin’s Pilots Set to Fly Over Iraq
The Daily Beast ^ | 07/01/14 | Josh Rogin
Russia may not have boots on the ground in Iraq—yet. But it will have them in the sky; Russian pilots could be flying over Iraq within days. While the Obama administration struggles to speed up delivery of U.S. military assistance to the government of Iraq, Vladimir Putin has already delivered not only fighter jets but also the pilots needed to fly them, diplomatic sources told The Daily Beast.
On Monday, Russian television trumpeted the arrival of the first five of 12 promised Sukhoi Su-25 combat fighter jets to the Iraqi government, saying it had also sent “trainers” to help the Iraqis use them. Gen. Anwar Hama Ameen, the commander of the Iraqi Air Force, told The New York Times the fighter jets would enter the battle against ISIS within a few days, after which the Russian trainers would leave Iraq. He said Iraq had plenty of pilots with “long experience” flying the Su-25. The Russian ambassador to Iraq also said Russian pilots would not fly missions inside Iraq.
Perhaps. But diplomatic sources told The Daily Beast that Russian pilots will fly the planes due to a lack of Iraqi pilots with the proper training. Neither Russia nor Iraq as explained how the Iraqi air force could possibly have pilots trained and ready to fly the Russian fighters. The Su-25 planes were used in the Iraq-Iran war but have not been employed in Iraq since at least 2002, when Iraq’s military was controlled by the Baathist regime of Saddam Hussein.
The news below, indicates that Iran has deployed its 7 SU 25’s to Iraq.
These planes will be flown by Iranian Pilots and serviced by Iranians

Seven Su-25 Frogfoot attack planes operated by the Iranian Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution have arrived at Baghdad to join the war against ISIS militants.
On Jul. 1, all the seven operational Su-25 Frogfoot attack planes operated by the Pasdaran (informal name of the IRGC – the Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution) have completed their deployment to Imam Ali Airbase where they will join the ex-Russian Air Force Su-25s already delivered to Iraq in the air war against ISIS (Al Qaeda-linked Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant).
Which lasted a lot longer than necessary because they were so certain that it was an angry 50 something white guy in a white panel van.
