beware the missiles of whore-mooooooooz

an acheson brief:


so  old nail puller
 Black-bridge 
BROUGHT  his  ayatollah  
                     tally sheet
to congress  last week ...

next day  headline

watch out italy 

here comes 
   a turbin powered rocket attack  ...


===========================


 yup

 i read  it myself
  right there
    in my boston globe:

(yes i'm in boston these days....
living with my x / x 
 ---my former x that is to say----
 since
 i'm  now once again 
 her insignifigant other ....


" major worry: 
newly acquired long-range missiles.
 Obtained with the assistance
 of North Korea
 the Shahab 3 could strike Israel 
and perhaps even hit the periphery of Europe
 The missiles could also be tipped 
with chemical warheads 
and threaten US military bases in the region"

fair enough...

"Iran is believed to have 
at least 20 launchers 
that are frequently moved around 
the country to avoid detection"

 my lord how feeble  

"''Iran has an extensive missile-development program
 and has received support 
from entities in Russia, China, and North Korea," 

nb ..."entities"


  " estimated  range  at least 800 miles"

             ....."at least "



"New missile designs 
under development could travel 
400 miles farther"

(thats 1,200  miles  total by the way ...)

but here's where my hot button  got hit :

  "Iran purchased
 at least a dozen
 X-55 cruise missiles
 from Ukraine 
             in 2001 
that are capable 
of carrying a nuclear warhead
 as far as Italy"

in an instant i'm dialing

" what...
  those hex-feeefty fives 
                     ...  heet Rome ???
please .. those duds 
lucky eeeff they leave launch pad 
by feefftyfive feet 
before  total detonation...."

"in fact two blew up on train trip to odessa
 for trans-sheeep ment ...
label them
       danger to purchaser  only "




okay so much for strategic threats ...

----------------


what about...
" The Iranian ayatollahs " deploying

 an 'asymmetric' answer???

 like

  " inciting
  a Shi'ite rebellion in Iraq " 


hows that grab ya 


to me its just
 like  puttin
 an extra pair of overalls
 in mrs murphy's chowddah ....

but then again i ain't out there on patrol  


"Iran also would be expected 
to enlist its terrorist allies 
around the world ...
Primary among them ...
 Hezbollah ..."

(hear the sound track pals ???)
 
"the Lebanese terrorist group
 that killed
    241 US Marines
 when it bombed a Beirut barracks 
          in 1983"

''Lebanese Hezbollah  . . . 
has a worldwide
 support network 
and is capable of attacks 
 against US interests 
if it feels its Iranian patron 
is threatened," 

''They have all kinds of people 
that would like to embrace martyrdom," 

ya ya ya sure sure sure

lots and lots..
    blow themselves 
up in ..
     the mall of new hampshire

ya ya ya 




but what about real threats
 vital shit like  .....oil  supply lines ???? 



"Iran controls a small island 
at the mouth the Strait of Hormuz
 and could use missiles 
and gunboats 
to temporarily shut off access 
to the economically vital Persian Gulf
 sparking an oil crisis "

  ya baby yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
