TOM: "Those SCUDS heading for Yemen from N. Korea were going SOMEWHERE, and given Yemen's location, they would be totally useless to that nation."

MY REPLY: As I recall the U.S. State Department realized that those SCUDS were, indeed, legally acquired by Yemen for its own national defense purposes. We ended up apologizing for interdicting the shipment.

By your remark, I surmise you are suggesting that the Yemeni intended to hand these over to the Iraqis. That's just idle speculation on your part unsupported by anthing but your own imagination.

The point of the article is that the Iraqis haven't launched any SCUDS and we've yet to find any. That's a simple fact. That's all it is. Live with it.
