It's about...screw it, we've been over what it's about 1000 times.

So, tell me again. Real slow, so I get it this time.

Read this, you can work through this in your spare time, for your perusal. Hell, look at damn near every post between 01/03 & April, there's lots of stuff.

Ta, Gonz, but it ain't anything I haven't heard before. No affiliations with Al Quaeda, no scuds fired off, no WMD found. And judging by the action going on over there, the Iraqi's aren't feeling very liberated either. Oh well, it looks like the Bush administration are getting a move on in implementing an Iraqi council quickly:

There were scuds fired off at the start. A massive salvo of 6 I believe.

I have read it all, Gonz...and I still have NO idea what you're blithering on about

Anyone care to back this up with proof? I heard a lot of allegations that scuds were fired off, but they were later refuted. I'll stand corrected if someone can show me otherwise.

I seem to recall having watched them flying...but I could be wrong I guess

"I heard reports that we fired Scud missiles on Kuwait. I would like to tell you that we don't have Scud missiles, and why they were fired, I don't know," he told Reuters.

Ok 'scuds' was a mild generalisation on all ranged un-manned missles. They might not have been actually scuds, they were missles and they exploded in Kuwait. The question was if they breached the UN limitation on range(not that this matters, we already found missles that breached this). It is said that 1 or 2 out of the 6(?) exceeded that range limitation but I don't consider this a fact that requires a single more word in this thread as it is redundant.

Somewhere behind those green-gray eyes, Josh remembers where he's been. And that he'll be going back. He remembers scrambling to get on his gas mask and get into a bunker the day he arrived in Kuwait when Scud missiles were flying overhead.

The Marines had been loaded onto buses after their February flight into Kuwait and taken to Camp Commando to await the war.

"There were scud missiles falling 300 feet from the edge of the compound," said Cpl. Brian Baugh.

"You could watch the Patriot missiles come up and intercept them like that," said Staff Sgt. Jose Tablada III, tracing the triangulation with his hands.

The threat of chemical or biological attack, the Marines said, was among the most disturbing thoughts as they waited. Just waiting was difficult enough.

They might not have been actually scuds, they were missles and they exploded in Kuwait.

They were Al Samouds, and had the inspectors had more time, they probably would have made it to the banned list as well, but they weren't.
