Patrick and Anne,

Again I would like to address the "creative writing/imagination of your alleged source of disinformation aka Casper.

He stated in his update #2 of today (april 19), "As you know Iran has no 'serious' missiles that can reach Israel. Obama has offered to fix that "problem"."  OH PLEASE DO A SEARCH ON GOOGLE OR OTHER SEARCH ENGINE AND YOU WILL FIND MORE OF THE SAME THAT I COPIED BELOW FOR YOUR INFORMATION.

Here are some "old" news sources that completely contradict his statement.

To make matters worse, Pentagon officials quietly confirmed that Russia has also sold S-300 missiles to Iran.

According to defense intelligence officials, joint Russian/Iranian crews currently man two S-300 units just outside of Tehran and Iranian Army soldiers are now undergoing operational training on the advanced missile system in Moscow.

The Russian missile sale to Iran may alter the defense equation as viewed by the Pentagon and the oil rich Persian Gulf.

There is no question the S-300 missile is a threat to the air forces of U.S. allies such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Japan, and Taiwan. None are equipped with aircraft that can counter the new Russian missile.

China Acquires Most Lethal Cruise Missile

China has also acquired the most lethal cruise missile in the world - the Russian 3M-82 Moskit, NATO code named the SS-N-22 Sunburn.

The 9,000-pound Sunburn flies at speeds of over 1,500 miles an hour and is armed with a nuclear warhead ten times the power of the Hiroshima bomb.

China currently operates two Sunburn armed warships - both based directly opposite Taiwan, raising the specter of an instant nuclear war.

"The proliferation of these weapons is very dangerous," warned the Heritage Foundation's Jack Spencer.

"They were built by the Soviet Union for one reason only - to target U.S. surface ships armed with Aegis fleet defense systems. Oddly enough, now the Chinese want them - and have them. Why? I would argue to target U.S. surface ships," said Spencer.

"Whether or not we can defend against this is a good question," noted Spencer. "Probably under perfect conditions we would defend against 1 or 2. But under war conditions, to defend against many would be difficult."

I REALLY THINK YOU SHOULD POST A CAVEAT WITH CASPERS "UPDATES" FOR "ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY".

IT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME THE CONVOLUTED STORIES HE/SHE COMES UP WITH WITH THIS SO CALLED "PACK DELIVERIES".  IF NOTHING ELSE CASPER SHOULD BE NOMINATED FOR THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION WRITING.  HAVE YOU ACTUALLY READ THRU THE ARCHIVE??  MY GOD ANYONE WITH HALF A BRAIN KNOW THIS IS PURE UNADULTERATED BS!

YOU POST A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF REALLY GOOD USEFUL INFORMATION AND ARTICLES ON YOUR SITE.  BY CONTINUING TO POST THE "UPDATES FROM CASPER" DETRACTS FROM YOUR CREDIBILITY.

I HAVE QUITE A FEW FRIENDS WHO NO LONG LOOK AT YOUR SITE BECAUSE OF CASPER AND HIS/HER DELUSIONAL RANTS ON DELIVERY OF "THE PACKS."
