Strike one.

Strike two.

The remainder of this constitutes strikes three through N. Your side

I'd suggest you know nothing at all about GPS.

I'd also suggest that you know nothing about inertial navigation.

I'd further suggest you know diddly about navigation, period, given
the preceding preposterous statement.

Horse manure. I can think of more than that (with historical
examples) off the top of my head.

Utter poppycock.

:Complex systems cannot be readily built by amateurs.

That's certainly true. They also can't be readily discussed by
amateurs. That means you should probably stop talking while I can
still control my laughter.

:I am talking about what you could rig up in Beirut.

You can 'rig up' pretty much anything in Beirut, since most of that
stuff comes from either Tehran or Damascus.

Well, no, you don't. I'd suggest you take a look at the feasible
payload for such a 'cruise missile'.

Nonsense.

Ridiculous!

Poppycock.

As usual, the Artificial Stupidity System (A.S.S.) known locally as
'Ian Parker' hasn't a clue what it is going on about.
