twfowler, re:The record of the Patriots really isn't so good Yeah, I know - we always joked in Korea that the Patriots on the DMZ were pointed the wrong way (North). Since we figured that by the time they acquired a target the missle would be behind us coming down on Seoul. Basically we figured they were pointed North to make the Seoul residents feel better, since if they pointed South they'd ask a lot of "hard" questions. re:The Patriots have been improved but I'm not sure that its enough. I've heard they have made significant improvements in target acquisition and tracking. Specifically shortening the time to acquire a target. If the War is a go, we'll definitely get a chance to see those improvements in action. PS: The Israelis have Patriots and their own home grown system, should be interesting to see those side by side.
