"Remember in 1991 (Gulf War)in Greater Palestine they had both SCUDS and PATRIOT debris raining down on both the Zionists and Arabs."

Those were put in place (I beleive) as a way to deal with percieve threats of Biological and Chemical attacks from Iraq. Hoping that the toxins would be incinerated before they hit the ground...plus they needed to test them out...they weren't perfect, but they got a few.

"Yes the S11 attack did use civil aircraft which proves my point."

Not really, it proves you're wandering off topic. Missiles won't completely protect you from ALL forms of attack, obviously. They didn't stop Martin Bryant...eh? *rolls*

My Aussie Macquarie Dictionary has defence with a "c" however refers to the US spelling with a "s". I win the point I think. I did not go to Uni and got "E" for English in HSC (grade 12) in 1971 but I try to improve myself. I could Google "Fowler" but I have not heard of him/her.

In relation to the other persons comment about the PATRIOT missles. I notice you said that the Bio and Chem (non existent) in the SCUD would "hopefully" be destroyed. No they would have covered the target as they could have had they not been shot down. Which gets me back to the view that "shields" are an illusion for the masses and is a trendy phrase the media to swallow.

Who gives a toss about the 'c' and 's'. Typos happen, deal with it.

In 1991 there's no reason to believe Hussein wasn't capable of dropping Chem and Bio weapons on Israel at that time (remember the Kurds?). What would you have expected the yanks to do when they had the technology to at least attempt to defend Israel from such attacks after a coalition 'instigated' escalating the hostilities?(yes he did, but allied attack started bombing of Israel). Hussein wasn't all that sane at that time...or predictable. Remember the oil wells?.

Forgot what my point was..lol

Missile shields aren't a trendy phase. Keep up with the news.

StG,

Israel were not part of the "Coalition of the Killing". Why do the dirty work yourself when you can get gentiles to do it; that is a Zionist mentality.

Yes Saddam was a brutal dictator and gassed the Kurds - terrible but bombing and maiming 300,000 to 600,000 Iraqis since the invasion in 2003 is also a war crime.

Don't forget Saddam as a US ally in the 1980's when Iraq attacked Iran after their Islamic revolution.

Saddam was tryed for his crimes and so should Bush, Blair and Howard and the other 2003 national leaders, like Poland, Portugal and Italy who formed the "Coalition of the Killing", for theirs aggression which has made a bad situation in Iraq only worse.

Get off the soap box champ. Other threads are for ranting. Discuss missile defence shields or piss off. So far I've discussed the concept with you because some of what you've been on about is kinda related to the topic. I'll discuss Zionist conspiracies and the rights and wrongs of the invasion of Iraq where it's appropriate to the topic.
