The Iranian Welcome Wagon

"The world" will not wait for Red Barry to get up to speed:

Iran said it successfully test-fired a new generation of long range surface-to-surface missile on Wednesday — one that could easily strike as far away as southeastern Europe with greater precision than earlier models.

The Sajjil is a solid fuel high-speed missile with a range of about 1,200 miles, Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammed Najjar said on state television. At that range, it could easily strike Iran's arch-foe Israel and go as far as southeastern Europe.

Solid-fuel missiles are more accurate than the liquid fuel missiles of similar range currently possessed by Iran. The country has had a solid-fuel missile with a shorter range — the Fateh, able to fly 120 miles — for several years.

The Islamic Republic News Agency said the test was conducted Wednesday, and television showed the missile being fired from a desert launching pad.

Looks like False Messiah had better be scheduling his group-hug pilgrimmage to Tehran sooner rather than later.  Either that or ask Zell Miller to make him an arsenal of spitball missile interceptors.  Maybe Czar Vladimir would be cool with those.
