Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[brainlessone]

Interesting: I watched the gulf war and remembered distinctly that I always worried if the patriots would work, it being a hit or miss affair. We knew they didnt when they destroyed a barracks in saudi arabia and killed american servicemen, and missiles landed in Israel. I do not remember thinking that they worked well and then finding out differently.

So our memories are distinctly different.

I flinch a little when I hear a newsperson say SCUD.

I do agree it is different missiles this time.

We will see about the final tallies, and have also learned that cruise missiles require a different kind of defense set, maybe repositioning of the radars or something else entirelyup
