[MIK3]

Heh...well said man...major kudos. <maddness> EvilTechie...give up man. And honestly...especially at times like these...don't negatively coment on

''the american mentality
no point in argueing with you''

Americans are ignorant is what you are proposing I am guessing.

Your right, don't argue with us...you'll lose.

Also if you want to read more reports continue on and you will see that it would be hard to develop anything to go against the shoddy construction of a scud missle. shoddy = break up upon reentry (no ability to guide, just hope it hits something) tumbling through the air (see last) and general inablity for accurate deployment and targeting. One of the chief failures sited was the inability for the patriot to lock on the "multiple pieces" of an incoming scud. The scud's had already begun disentigration. At that point no one would know where's it's gonna land, not even those that fired it, and more than likey the safest place is where it was orignally intended to go. The odds of it hitting there are extremly low if it's already came apart and began tumbling. The multiple pieces would confuse the patriot and the misses could in some amount be accounted for with this in mind. Was it perfect, no. Did it work, yes, to what extent I guess it is still up for debate. But if you want to know if it works it would be to test it against a functional and truly dangerous system. My $.02

Question of the day,

"would I like to sit in kuwait knowing there was no patriot missle system protecting me?"

or would I

"like to sit there with one protecting me??"

I would have to say without even question "please protect me with a patriot system" so if your so confident from old info that the system is a hoax, would you actually not care of one was protecting you? I would be scared shitless if I did not have a patriot system watching over me and someone was fireing a missle at me with the targeting pc equal to a playstation 2 *LOL*

methinks I'ld side with AI, patriot missle please.

Oh yeah, god bless those iraqies that are surrendering and seeing the light, I have been seeing not only a surrender but so far a 20% defection rate which is not just a surrender but them saying "hey we will fight for you if you ask giving up all data they have" that percentage may not be accurate but I am seeing that figure on 3 different channels and online.

Herm...wonder who the 20% belongs to. We need more opinions in here! And someone who is willing to keep an argument going oh why they think it is a hoax...

Before the Gulf War, any missle or rocket fired had a 100 percent chance of NOT getting shot down. Why? Because the technology didn't exist.

Now, there IS a chance of shooting down a missle or rocket. Who cares what the percentage is, every one that is shot down means less casualties and should be celebrated.

This is like complaining that every bullet out of a machine gun don't kill something.

I would assume hitting a missle with another missle is no easy task. The shrear fact that it CAN happen some of the time is freaking amazing.

Heck, for the skeptics that believe they don't work at all consider this.... AT LEAST THEY ARE TRYING! :P

anyone see the video of the patriot system shooting down that scud released yesterday? Also they gave the official tally on how many the patriots have knocked out but I do not want to quote it for I will get my jumped on if I am off by 1 *LOL* so from what I "remeber" it was 3 missiles not just scud missles knocked down thx to a patriot 3 system manned by americans and 1 missle was taken out by a patriot system that was manned by kuwait soldiers. Out of the two missle that hit kuwait 1 missile was a tomahawk that went nuts and did no harm, another was a scud that was damaged by the P3 system that made it through but did no damage and crashed harmlessly, 2 more missiles that passed the boarder from iraq were so far off target that they were out of range by the patriot system and just crashed into nowere in the desert, all agencies are reporting the patriot 3 as an increadible success! I know someone will see that is propaganda but those are the facts so far I have seen that I remember and not a direct quote. Also the video of the P3 system blowing that missile out of the sky was killer watch Fox news and they will show it again sometime today!
