OK, more Iraqi NFZ stuff...

[weemadando]

US and Brit jets just hit 3 Iraqi surface to surface missile sites in the Northern NFZ.

Is that a violation? Having SSMs inside the NFZ? Yeah, those missiles were obviously threatening the planes.

There in Violation of the 91 Treaty, as I've said before based mearly on that we have a right to do whatever the hell we please with Iraq if they Violate the 91 Treaty, Thats how Clinton was able to Launch all those pretty Cruise Missles in 98

How is that a violation?

Missiles that go 15 klicks over the limit with no warhead and no guidence systems are obvioulsy gonna fall far short of the limit fully loaded.

If they go two inchs over the limit with Ballons attached and a tail wind they are considered violations, However the point is as long as any Missles(Inculding those that go five hundred miles over the limit with Payloads attached) or the UAV Drones then by the words of the Treaty, they are allowed to commit everything up to and inculding a ground invasion to remove the Treaty Violations
