1. Looks like someone is getting nervous..

and rightfully so. I really hope * and his ilk think twice about starting some shit with Iran, I have this funny feeling it won't be the cake walk Iraq was :sarcasm:

Does anyone know if this "Shahab-3" missile is the Sunburn missile that I read about Iran having awhile ago?
