Just what the world needs - cruise missiles that can be hidden inside
of, and launched from, standard shipping containers:

Right now, Hugo Chavez is coming in his pants.


My thoughts exactly. The video screams "Rogue nation! Protect yourself
from the evil United States with our new terror weapon, a cruise missile
in a shipping container!".


It's more of a "Al Qaeada? Can you afford a freighter? If so, we have a
delivery system for your suitcase nukes."

Al Qaeda then puts them on a common shipping freighter and they launch
from offshore. Might work, if they do it right. But I'm not about to say
what they need to do to "do it right".
