If the missiles are not a threat why have the missiles?
Seems to me there was a pi$$ant in the region a few year ago that said pretty much the same thing. As I recall, he got his a$$ whipped and ended up hiding in a hole for several months. Thought for the day: Never get into an ax fight with a squirt gun.
Wow, surprise.
The UPI is behind the curve.
“Iranian missiles not a threat”
Considering our recent ship-based shoot down of wayward satellite while still outside the atmosphere - I would have to agree.
Funny world isn’t it?
You can agree with someone on a practical matter for entirely different reasons...
After an underground nuclear test: “Nuke test was no threat.”
After sinking an U.S. aircraft carrier in the Gulf: “Nuke strike was no threat.”
"Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip the waitress."

A video has surfaced of Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama talking on his plans for strategic issues such as nuclear weapons and missile defense.
The full text from the video, as released, reads as follows:
Thanks so much for the Caucus4Priorities, for the great work you've been doing. As president, I will end misguided defense policies and stand with Caucus4Priorities in fighting special interests in Washington.
First, I'll stop spending $9 billion a month in Iraq. I'm the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning. And as president I will end it.
Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending.
I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.
I will not weaponize space.
I will slow our development of future combat systems.
And I will institute an independent "Defense Priorities Board" to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.
Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert, and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals.
You know where I stand. I've fought for open, ethical and accountable government my entire public life. I don't switch positions or make promises that can't be kept. I don't posture on defense policy and I don't take money from federal lobbyists for powerful defense contractors. As president, my sole priority for defense spending will be protecting the American people. Thanks so much.

They’re no threat because they were built by North Koreans.
That's rich.
This guy should audition for a comedy club somewhere.
