Things are getting interesting.
I feel bad for Yemen. And wish they had been able to destroy Mecca.
“Yer gonna need a bigger missile.”
“Coalition forces destroyed the missile 65 km (40 miles) from the holy city”
With what? Don’t tell me we have anti missile batteries defending this.
Coalition forces? Does that include us?
God bless them. We should be supporting them, not the Saudi Barbarians.
Better luck and launching next time!
Mecca is mystery Babylon and it will be destroyed by the King of the Medes (Iran). Yemen is Iran’s proxy.

Well, I’m glad someone has the stones to attempt an attack on Mecca, although this was just a single rocket.
Wouldn’t it be great if the Kabaa stone got splintered?
The Muslims would be at each other’s throats; the Jooz would be blamed, and in 10 years, tourists would be offered necklaces containing splinters of the rock.
Iran has been banned from Hajj again.
The Iranian Shia are thus excluded from practicing one of the five pillars of Islam.
The first ban was in the early 70’s after Iran sent armed Hajjis to capture Mecca. The gambit was countered and the ban was later removed.
If Mecca goes, Islam delenda est. But conventional warheads are not enough.
The U.S. probably destroyed the missile in flight.
This is what Patriot Missile batteries (”Star Wars”) and Aegis systems do, I think. (Please correct me, military guys.)
Who has anti-missile capabilities in the Middle East? Us and Israel, I think.
Wow.
Saudi Arabia began pursuing missile defense capability when Iraq fired Scud ballistic missiles missiles against the coalition military targets stationed in the Kingdom. On January 17, 1991, an Iraqi Scud was intercepted by a US Patriot missile defense system in Saudi Arabia. This event marked the first anti-ballistic missile fired in combat during the Gulf War. [3] By enhancing its security architecture through missile defense, Saudi Arabia seeks to consolidate its place as a regional leader, protect its homeland, and safeguard its regional allies to further cooperation in the Arabian Gulf.[4]
In 1991, Saudi Arabia became the first Middle East customer of the Patriot missile system and maintains the largest missile defense force in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia’s ballistic missile defense capability is designed to defend against its primary adversary: Iran.

Too bad it was destroyed in-flight. I would’ve raised a glass in a toast to them (a toast... lol).
