Did anyone catch what FNC just said. US stray missiles hit in Iran.

Yep! They blowed up real good.

SoD Rumsfeld, my boss...LOL!

No, sorry just a retired general drawing lines on the map on Fox. If he's right it looked like they crossed the Euphrates and are closing in. Speculation that thatis why the oil trenches went off.

Franks talking n0w. It's 5 pm in bdad -- sunset coming. Can S&A round II be far behind? Heavier than last nite, not as heavy as tomorrow night if they don't surrender unconditionally. And this time we will tell them what unconditional means.

[quack]

yep,3 "astray" cruise missles.

[ninenot]

Ahhhh, memories....

Extremely low

It is beyond belief! I hope our friends in Korea are listening.

There's "shape" seeker also. GPS gets you approximate and object "memory" takes over.

Franks: Campaign unlike any other in history...precision...Shock and awe...overwhelming force..

[OXENinFLA]

Yeah by the way Tom Franks is talking. It sounds like a carpet bombing is in the near future.

Let's hope they didn't inadvertantly hit an Iranian nuclear facility [evil grin].

IIRC, JDAMs use inertial navigation in conjunction with the GPS signals. It uses both systems in case one of them is jammed or goes out.

Somehow I knew I would wake up and be greeted by the belly shirt girl!
