<<<The missile issue is very strange. If it has been test-fired at a distance more than the allowed one, it means that it can go that far. Iraqis are now trying to deceive by saying bullxxxx about weight of guidance systems etc.>>> There you go watching special reports during Leave it to Beaver reruns. The median range of the tests was just under UN guidelines. Approximately 1 out of 3 tested up to 10 miles short of the allowed range, and approximately 1 out of 3 tested about the same over. Only 1 missile in the test came close to 20 miles over the limit, which could easily be accounted for by a good tail wind. A .22 bullet has a range of 1 mile, all the experts will tell you this is true. The only problem is you have a better chance of winning the lottery than you do of hitting a target at that distance. The missile issue is pure hype designed to impress idiots. No one with half a brain would attempt targets much over 10% below the lowest results of the tests. So open another brewski and don't try to worry about things you just plain aren't mentally equipped to comprehend.
