"IRAQI MISSILES FOUND

In and near Baghdad, more Iraqi trailors loaded with more Iraqi Scud missiles"

NONE of those pictures are SCUDS. Diogenesis you really need to get yourself a missile recognition booklet. If they were SCUDS then they would be headline news on the CENTCOM brief.

For example:

"more Iraqi trailors loaded with more Iraqi Scud missiles"

These are FROG-7s (Free Rocket Over Ground). This is a short range battlefield artillery rocket. Perfectly legal for the Iraqi's to have and not "missed by the Klowns".

Thanks for that clarification. I was going to ask Diogenesis if he was sure about his identification. I had though that SCUDS were liquid-fueled, and fairly large (multi-stage?)
