New Missiles, Old Missies

They now tell us that Iran's big missile demonstration was a dog and pony show, that they used older missiles, even perhaps older videos of previous launches, plus - heaven forbid - doctored photos.

The below photos show an obviously doctored top photo in which a failed rocket was replaced with a duplicate shot of the rocket to its right. Just look at and compare the ground smoke patterns on the right-hand side of the of the two missiles on the right... identical.



Yup... a doctored photo... piece of cake nowadays with a computer.

However, a fact being totally ignored is that Iran did launch one advanced version of the Shahab-3 missile, the one capable of hitting Israel, and that it was a complete success.

Ok. Consider... they have a limited number of these new advanced missiles, so they need to test it to make sure it's operational. They launch one in the midst of a flurry of older missile launches, and at the same time release both the original and doctored photos of the older missiles, to keep the world press all a-dither and off-subject.

Seems like it worked out great. They got a successful launch of their latest advanced missile. There's the real message to Israel - they are now in range.

I am wondering why we are being swamped with useless blabber about older missiles and doctored photos, when we should be mulling over the fact the Iran can indeed hit Israel with an unknown number of advanced missiles, missiles far more improved over the old SCUD's Saddam had. They may even use our very own worldwide GPS system - for extreme accuracy - to actually hit whatever target they aim at, the same system used by our satellite guided bombs.

Insult to injury... using our GPS system to accurately hit critical targets in Israel.

That's probably why they launched only one advanced Shahab-3 missile... every one they have possibly represents a destroyed Israeli target. Why waste them in a pretty light show?

If Iran has more advanced Shahab-3 missiles than Israel has patriot-style interceptors, it's going to be a really bad day for Israel, regardless of the damage that may be done to Iran's nuclear facilities caused by an Israeli air strike. And if Iran already has a nuclear warhead or two purchased(with our oil money) from one of our several antagonists to put on a Shahab-3, Katie bar the door.
