We didn't do this on purpose.It might give pause however to the Iranian radical martyr brigades!

I heard that Iran was not protesting because we are having communications with them about the war (diplo stuff). They likely want to see Saddamn out a whole lot. So as long as it isn't a big problem they won't gripe according to this TV head.

Well of course the difference in the width of the aircraft would make it harder to knock down, but deployed in a geometric pattern which would make it hard to breakthrough without making radical course changes in relatively short distances would get some of them, particularly when you know they're coming. It seems like fairly cheap defensive hardware, and you could change the pattern of deployment rapidly and randomly.

Of course the Navy could reprogram the missiles to gain altitude upon arrival and come straight down on the target. Oh well, they'd be decorative at any rate.

More likely they're watching new TV show, "Everybody Loves Shock & Awe".

Right now they are showing war protestors

Oh man. For a split second when I first looked at your post, I thought it said they were "shooting" war protesters.

What a letdown.

Too bad the French aren't in this campaign. Bad smells would be right up their alley! Prolly wouldn't phase them a bit!! :^D

I just feel like bashing French today. They are having the arrogance to talk to the UN about trying to keep US and Brits out of the reconstruction part. More Treachery!!

I wonder why we sent a letter of apology to them through the Swiss instead of sending it directly.
