I want Sifu to tell us the killing radius of the warheads carried by these missiles as well. Just to see if he has learned what the term means.

Considering the you’re all idiots line it started with, that is my favorite slow-motion faceplant of the current fiscal year.[/quote]
It was indeed not Sifu’s finest moment on PWI.[/quote]
Sifu’s claim is not totally unfounded:
Now of course there is a lot of conflicting information with respect to Iran’s surface to surface missile program, but the claims that they have missiles that can reach Europe are not totally unfounded. They are not totally founded either. Most indicators suggest that they have missile technology that can make the distance, but are to inaccurate to be useful militarily. And we do not know everything about their development.
What specific capabilities are nobody seems sure, but that they are a rapidly increasing threat is not in doubt by anybody save obama’s faith in the mullahs.[/quote]
Your first and third links are yellow journalism, and your second merely corroborates the data I introduced in my post. [/quote]
I suppose you didn’t understand what I meant when I said his remarks were ‘not totally unfounded’ and ‘not totally’ founded.[/quote]
Sifu made asserted that “Iran already has missiles that can reach Paris”, which I demonstrated to be a categorically invalid statement. My argument was not an argumentum ad lapidem, but based upon current open-source intelligence. Your hasty goggle search does nothing to change that. There is no evidence that Iran’s ballistic missile programs have the capabilities that Sifu definitively claims they do.[/quote]
Holy crap, your the king of missing points or being incapable of understanding them. Let me say it really slow for you so you can get it. All I was trying to demonstrate that there is information, written in black and white, that could lead one to believe that Iran did in fact have such a capability. Since the information available is conflicted, one could be led to believe that Iran did have a capability and not ignorant about the situation.
In other words Sifu, is neither a bad guy, nor stupid. He had a reason to believe at a cursory glance, what he said. And did not deserve the abuse.
You and others are so quick to jump on another person’s mistake, and then relentlessly harp on it for pages, because you apparently need the ego boost, which is apparently why you frequently give us your qualifications as well.
Maybe you’ll grow up one day and quit the 'Hey look at me, I am in college!" spiel. Most of us already graduated, we’re not impressed.
