Don't be so sure that it is a dud just because the Iranians have a history of incompetence.
I've seen missles launched by the norks that barely got off the ground and dropped off the coast. They would be lucky to hit South Korea muchless the U.S.
The Iranians are actually pretty bright folks.
Sure, in head to head combat, they are no match for us. But you need to understand that is not their goal.
Their goal is to bring chaos and war, that will bring their Mahdi out of the well to rule the world.
They know they cannot win against us, but with the Mahdi they can.
They are as serious about that as many Christians are about the return of Jesus. Except their beliefs include being able to start the process.
So, change your thinking. Its not about winning. It is about starting the war.
