					<description><![CDATA[They won&#039;t slap them on a scud.  To slow, and though harder to shoot down, they are still to easy to hit.

Better to &quot;give&quot; them to one of the terror groups they run, and let them sneak it in.  That way when it goes off Iran can claim ignorance, and Obama will be given an out, so he won&#039;t have to join Israel in wiping Iran off the face of the earth.

Iran will develop nukes.  Because the UN doesn&#039;t care, and Obama doesn&#039;t have the testicles to stop it.

Iran will let the terrorists they finance use them.  And then say &quot;But it wasn&#039;t us!&quot;  When Israel looks to hit back.

The UN will scream that they need more proof, and that any action against Iran will be illegal.  And if Obama is still president he will refuse unilateral action in support of Israel.

Israel will obliterate Iran, and several other Muslim hard line countries in the ensuing action.  Leaving the area open for civil war, and a crippling shortage of oil.  Causing China, Russia, and the good old USA to get into it as they try to &quot;help&quot; former allies.

Yep...  Gonna be an interesting next few years. That 2012 crap seems more relevant everyday.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Scuds are designed to carry a nuclear warhead.  If Iran develops nukes small enough to fit a Scud and hands them over to Hezbollah Israel could face nuclear attack from Southern Lebanon.  And as Geoffc mentioned, shorter flight times make them harder to shoot down, although given sufficient warning Israel&#039;s Arrow anti-missile interceptors can shoot down Scuds.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Fisk&#039;s name wasn&#039;t turned into a verb... the word Fisk is much older than Robert Fisk.

Unfortunately, despite the fact your analysis on Robert Fisk is good, that fundamental error means I can&#039;t share your article.  It makes you look like you don&#039;t know what you are talking about.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So let me get this straight -- someone killed by an inaccurate weapon is not just as dead, and the family does not grieve just as much -- as if they had been killed by a more accurate weapon?

Wasn&#039;t their supposed lack of accuracy a big reason that the hysterical banners gave for wanting to ban so-called Saturday night specials and so-called assault weapons? (Inaccuracy of the weapons, that is, not inaccuracy of the ban lobby.)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[yikes, meryl, you missed his last sentence!

&quot;What worse can Israel do now against the ruthlessness of the Hizbollah, even after the accusations of war crimes levelled against its equally ruthless rabble of an army?&quot;

so... Israel&#039;s army is ruthless rabble?

					<description><![CDATA[He is not counting accuracy improvements due to the shorter range requirement.  

He is not counting any technology upgrades based on experience during the past 19 years.

Shorter flight time leaves less time for failures to happen.  

Also, makes them harder to shoot down, alas.  

Also, is Fisk really the source of the FISK verb?  That is cool!  Nice bit of infamy (in the Three Amigos sense)  I assumed it was a modification of filk, from changing a common song for a folk song on a topic.  (Kind of like what Weird Al does).]]></description>
