"They took away very different lessons."http://www.newser.com/story/32016/once-pals-kerry-and-mccain-are-now-on-the-rocks.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThu, 24 Jul 2008 23:15:49 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/31999/iran-tests-missile-in-gulf-in-warning-to-us.html?refid=rss_all_defaultIran demonstrated its military might today by firing nine long- and medium-range missiles in the Strait of Hormuz, which 40% of the world's oil passes through. Reports on Iranian television said that one of the weapons fired was the Shahab-3 missile, which has a range of 1,250 miles. The White House reacted by saying that Iran must end missile tests "if they truly seek to gain the trust of the world."http://www.newser.com/story/31999/iran-tests-missile-in-gulf-in-warning-to-us.html?refid=rss_all_defaultWed, 23 Jul 2008 23:15:09 CDT
