I guess North Korea wants to be next on the hit parade!!

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

YOU!!!! WILL BE NEXT

[Rodney King]

Without chemical or nuclear warheads, these missles have almost zero tactical value. They are useful only to try to scare the population.

They are useful only to try to scare the population.

Isn't that the definition of terror?

[Rodney King]

Sure. I'm just saying that these missles are basically worthless from a military standpoint.

[Nitro]

True enough, but this is a really bad time to be making high-profile weapon transfers!

Besides Egypt and North Korea both deserve a good thumping!

[antivenom]

LMFAO!!!!!

Would Long range missles be called......(drum roll)

LONG DONG missles???

Slapping my thighs...snorting a snot ball...woooo weeeee!

There was just something about that comment that made me crack up - ROFL.

[Fighting Irish]

Great.....so lets go bomb the crap out of them too.

[WriteOn]

No-Dong missiles. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Only an Arab would buy one! BWAHAHAHAHAHAH

[FreedomPoster]

And we give the Egyptians how much a year in foreign aid? Screw that - if they can afford IRBM's, they don't need my tax $$'s!

[CommiesOut]

Sure. Let's roll.
WASHINGTON, Nov 27 (Reuters) - The Bush administration plans to provide Egypt with surface-to-surface missiles and four patrol boats on which to base them in a $400 million deal

Last I heard 1.9 billion $. But that is offset by the factory we set up to produce 200 Abrams tanks a year. My take is that we keep Egypt buying from the n. koreans(and whoever else is selling) so that we can see whats for sale. ;-) After all most of Egypt is under water with a few dozen well placed bombs.

I couldn't agree more. In short (in the minimum) I would deduct the value of the purchase from the aid and state that they obviously didn't need it for any purposes we would approve with the aid.

[SwankyC]

Why do they have to name their missiles "Dong"???? These people much have phallus envy or something!

[ex-Texan]

I do believe that shipment of missles ought to be sunk at sea in a mystery sinking ....

KAAABOOOMB!

[ASTM366]

Before the war on terrorism is over, we need to take care of the little gook "great leader" that currently rules North Korea.

He is psycho case that needs a quick trip to his eternal home - Hell.

The North Koreans leadership represents a real danger to America and our Far East allies.

[homeschool mama]

hmmm...this was denied by an Egyptian spokesman on FOX today. Who to believe...who to believe...

[American in Israel]

Sure. I'm just saying that these missles are basically worthless from a military standpoint.

LOL! Unless of course you wanted to take out the 15 major cities of Israel, with 10 left over for giggles. Assuming that there are no warheads is like deciding that the bank robbers gun is empty and testing it with your head. I think that if they can buy missiles they can buy warheads too, Hmmmm? I bet ole Sadam will donate a few hundred kilos of Anthrax for free.
