Iran Ballistic Missiles Pose a Direct Threat to Europe

Posted by Matt in February 27th, 2007

Riki Ellison, President of the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance (http://missiledefenseadvocacy.org) has analyzed the threat of Iran to the United States and its allies and has gone on record detailing why the United States and the western world should be concerned about the growing ballistic missile threat of Iran. He has also stated that our current projections to deploy a force of ground-based interceptors in Europe are focused on deployment exclusively in Poland, and not in Great Britain.

“Iran has over 20 intermediate range missiles that can reach continental Europe,” stated Riki Ellison, President of the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance. “These 20 BM-25 missiles were purchased from North Korea in 2005 and are a variant of the Soviet SS-N-6 (R-27) submarine-launched ballistic missile. With a range beyond 3,000 kilometers, these missiles pose a direct threat to central Europe.” Last week Iran launched a sub-orbit missile that traveled 94 miles into space and declared their intent to launch satellites in the near future. On last week’s launch of a sub-orbital missile by Iran, Ellison noted that “Having orbital satellite launch capability, Iran would have access to deliver payloads to anyplace on earth, as was first powerfully demonstrated 50 years ago by the Soviet Union’s launch of Sputnik in 1957.”

Europe is a country and everyone speaks french here
She thinks Europe is a country and french is the official language here. Budapest? Hungary? She's never heard of these. I wonder what she thinks about the whereabout of Germany, Italy, Spain, Luxemburg, Holland, Poland, Croatia, Bulgaria etc. The peak of american education. She propably wouldn't be able to pass the 3rd grade here. Moreover: there's an extra voice in the word Hun-ga-ry (hung'guh ree) contrary to hun-gry (hung'gree). Learn that!
