Im not concerned really, persoanlly I'm confident this story is BS.

I agree. Sounds like an expensive, roundabout and probably relatively ineffective way to do this.

Well, if you already had some delivery system, equipping it with a GPS guidance system, as opposed to blind firing, is a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the costs involved.

A simple system using any commercial GPS with serial output could be rigged to a PIC device even, controlling thrusters for maneuvering. That would really be the easiest part of a design like that.

Could be this was leaked by the Iraqi propaganda-mongers to scare us away from attacking them.

Do you know what sounded like BS on 9-10-01? Destroying the WTC with box cutters.
