Putin's New al Qaeda Catalog

Everything the aspiring terrorist needs to bring the filthy infidels to their quivering knees, just a click or a phone call away!:

Annnnnd, in case the picture wasn't worth a thousand words....:

A Russian company is marketing a devastating new cruise missile system which can be hidden inside a shipping container, giving any merchant vessel the capability to wipe out an aircraft carrier.

Potential customers for the formidable Club-K system include Kremlin allies Iran and Venezuela, say defense experts.  They worry that countries could pass on the satellite-guided missiles, which are very hard to detect, to terrorist groups....

Gee, YA THINK?!?

...."At a stroke, the Club-K gives a long-range precision strike capability to ordinary vehicles that can be moved to almost any place on earth without attracting attention," said Robert Hewson of Jane's Defense Weekly, who first disclosed its existence.

A promotional video for the Club-K on the website of Moscow-based makers Kontsern-Morinformsistema-Agat shows an imaginary tropical country facing a land, sea and air attack from a hostile neighbor.

It fights back by loading three shipping containers concealing Club-Ks onto a truck, a train and a ship, disperses them, and then launches a devastating strike on its enemy, destroying its warships, tanks and airfields.

"The idea that you can hide a missile system in a box and drive it around without anyone knowing is pretty new," said Hewson, who is editor of Jane's Air-Launched Weapons.

"Nobody's ever done that before."

The nightmare scenarios write themselves - think the mullahs wouldn't want to have these babies handy when they try to blockade the Strait of Hormuz?  Or al Qaeda, perhaps after Iran fitted them with nuclear warheads, letting fly from in a U.S. port or even just outside U.S. territorial waters?

And it's our good, close, personal tovarisches, the Russians - you know, the "ally" whom Red Barry is grovelingly desperate to "persuade" (through removing anti-ICBM batteries from Eastern Europe aimed at....IRAN) to cooperate on sanctions purportedly intended to pressure the denuclearization of....IRAN - who're all set to sell a ton of Club-Ks to their good, loyal customers....IRAN.  And Uncle Hugo, who'd have a merry old time stationing them in Cuba to pick off, say, U.S.-bound oil tankers, or whatever other targets of interest they could find.

Nothing like "smart power," is there?  Oh, but don't worry, folks - Godbama will have a treaty for that too, just as soon as we divest ourselves of all of OUR cruise missiles first.  Besides, it's all still Bush's fault, right?
