These are Surface to Air missiles (SAMs).
They're not banned.

>>Allied warplanes are now involved in an intensive effort to strike the Iraqis' mobile missile launchers before they fire again. <<
Can you say "napalm"? I knew you could (with apologies to the late Fred Rogers).

Maybe Saddam's "concussion" wore off...
To: Jeff Chandler
"One of the Ababil-100's that was intercepted flew about 110 miles. Before the war started this week, weapons inspectors were still debating its range."
Nothing like a demonstration and a long measuring tape to iron out that controversy. Looks like a great "Highway of Death Part II: Ababil" opportunity. Hey Iraqis, keep an eye on that rear view mirror. Something might be gaining on you.

That looks awfully big for a SAM.

They're not banned. They should have been. Our whole problems with 1991 were the terms of surrender. We (thanks to kind advice from our good friends France, Germany, Russia, and China) effectively surrendered. What business did Saddam have with *any* military after that war? In fact why didn't we go to Baghdad?
To: Husker24
>>That looks awfully big for a SAM.
If it's an SA-2, it ought to be- they're huge. It's *way* too small to be a SCUD, or similar.
I'll see if I can find some good SAM pics online and post a link.

New World Order (Bush 41 WAS a wimp).

"So far, the Iraqis have not fired any of the few Scuds they are thought to have retained."This is a blatant lie, and the NYT should be called on it. Saddam fired a scud into Kuwait and it has been positively idenitified as a scud.

I found a pic with the same aspect, but no indication of scale. The SA-2 is about 35 feet long, and about almost a yard in diameter. It is a *BIG* missile.

I'm sure the maggots in charge of the NY Slimes would be very happy if the Iraqis killed some or a lot of our men in Iraq.

On the 'Rat Underground, they're saying Bush will launch chemical weapons on our own troops so Iraq can be blamed.

Also on the 'Rat Underground, they're discussing whether Saddam would be "justified" to launch biological weapons on our troops... most have concluded that he would be!

Are these people aware that there is a thing called the Geneva Convention that bans biological and chemical attacks?
That is un-fripping-believable. Dummies Underground is appropriate.

Looks like an Sa-2 or long range interceptor missile.
Still, smaller than the SA-4 Ganef for sure.
