The missile appears to have been a modified Scud. And we all know who fired it and was not a bunch of rebels it was IRAN.
Interesting to see what SA does next.

Thanks for link.
“According to the reports, the missile was intercepted by a Saudi Patriot missile defense system in the vicinity of the airport.”
US supplied.

Did you feed them before they started to snooze? I think I've dropped a few peanuts, Cheetos and a lot of popcorn down between the cushions.

Yes, that is my understanding. An interceptor missile from the ground hit it in midair.

How was it that someone was taking handheld video of the Patriot launches at the exact right moment?

Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said that Israel and the Saudi’s are working very closely together to combat the Iran sponsored terrorists, who are as much a threat to Saudi Arabia and the Muslim world as they are to Israel.
To: Southnsoul
Whoa, I didn't know it had been admitted publicly.
Although I guess if I knew it, it's pretty much public.

Saudi Arabia already has them on pre-order with Pakistan, ready to be shipped to them the moment Iran goes nuclear.

Ya I was being sarcastic. I was commenting on the Ayrabs willingness to lob missiles at each other as soon as they get their hands on them.
If the rags get nukes I have no doubt they will try to take out Israel. Iran will use them to control the middle east and they will turn them on Europe and America.
They won't be happy until the entire middle east is one Islamic state and they become a world power.

I don’t doubt that for a moment, tbw2. The best we hope for is if they all take each other out and leave Israel, Europe, and America out of it.

Don’t worry, your sardonic post wasn’t misunderstood by all. Very clever, actually.
