Did I just hear this right?

[Pretender]

I was half paying attention to CNN when I heard something about patriot missile strikes from US and Israel planned for next week....

please tell me I heard wrong. Are they actually announcing missile strikes in advance? What type of idiotic military strategy is this?

I did not hear that one,but that missle is a defensive weapon,to kill incoming scuds.Perhaps what you heard was that the US is moving the missles into the area.To be ready for the mother of all wars,yawn.

Doesn't sound like a smart strategy, but perhaps you heard wrong. Can anyone verify this?

Maybe they announced it to give civillians a chance to get away.

You can't really pick up and move a military base, I have a feeling that if the missle defense systems weren't good enough that announcing a missle strike wouldn't be that stupid. Like yakko said, lets them get rid of civilians.
