It would help if you actually read the article you're posting instead of just reading the title because you assume it's going in your favor. Now you look retarded.
It was not clear last night whether the Americans had hit his garrison in error or had been fed wrong information by the main Kurdish faction, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), which has been trying to wipe out Ansar al-Islam for 18 months.

PS. The Javelin is a personnel deployed anti-tank weapon so I don't see what that has to do with missiles launched from the Navyedit on 4-1-2012 by apodictic because: (no reason given)

Anything is possible, but I'd be willing to bet my life that wasn't the case. We have the most technologically advanced weaponry on the planet. Go back and read that article again, maybe then it'll make more sense that they were given the wrong destination by a group who had wanted them annihilated.
Oh jeez, you're trying to make me look stupid. Do you have ANY knowledge of our weapon systems at all? The missile was (with a 99% guarantee) off course and was either intentionally destroyed by remote command, or self destructed.
You're grasping at straws kid. Keep trying though.

The only way we know how to fight huh?
That's why the first and last nukes ever used were in WWII, right?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember any nukes in Vietnam, Desert Storm, OIF, or in Afghanistan, just to name a few.
Edit to add: News flash, the US aren't the only ones in the world who have nukesedit on 4-1-2012 by apodictic because: (no reason given)
1. You didn't admit to any of your multiple mistakes.
2. You don't have any knowledge of the fail-safes used in our missile technology
3. You have no credentials to back up that you understand how our missile technology works. In fact, you're proving the contrary that you have NO IDEA what you're talking about.
4. You haven't given a single bit of evidence that our Navy deployed weapon systems have failed. The only evidence you've given is that you don't know the internal workings of said systems, and the way the missile crews operate.
5. You're being the "stereotypical limey" by bringing up American stereotypes and bashing where it has absolutely no value, nor anything to do with the topic being discussed.
6. You're backing away because you know you failed.

Just like Afghanistan. 10+ years and still counting. Those pathetic dudes are nothing higher than a 50 cent hood gang. How on earth would you even begin to consider taking on a real opponent like Iran?

you may not be so cocky if the iranians brought the war to your shores .
maybe if that happened and bombs started to go off in your citys you would understand that wars benefit no one but the ones cashing in on it.
this is not some pathetic computor game, its where innocent people get maimed and killed.
and for gods sake sort out your own country before you try to change others .
you don't seem to realise that this could lead to a third world war , where everyone on this small planet of ours would suffer
