1. Nope, none yet. Nope not all were hit. We allowed two to land in the desert where they could be inspected later.

2. ChBMs? Really. That means they must have been launched outside of Iraq in order to go that far. You can do the math. But it's over 150 miles from the Iraqi border to Kuwait City, that would be about 30 miles beyond the allowed range! To add, They were headed to the Kuwati oil fields, which is about another 30 miles past Kuwait City.

Are you saying Iraq has invaded Kuwait again?

I prefer to pepper to salt.[/QB][/QUOTE]

And will journalists and/or independent parties by allowed to examine them to prove that they are Scud missiles?

And to point two I posit unto you, this> Where was the missiles when they were shot down?
Where they truly over over Kuwait? Or were they shot down while they were still over Iraq?
Since if they were over Iraq at the time, it is meaningless.
I can go outside and orient myself towards London and start walking, I can claim that I have the range to get there, But I would likely not manage to walk all the way there.

If they were shot down over the 150mile limit, and they do know where they were launched from, The point is of course moot.
