#2 When will we see the first deployment of lasers against hostile missiles? Will the Israelis try to demonstrate the capability as early as possible? Or do you wait till Hezbollah starts up again.

#4 The Israelis are doing a lot more talking and a lot less doing. Hope they aren't going native.

#5 I clearly need more coffee. I swear when I first saw the headline I thought it read:
"IDF vows tough response to Kansans"

and I thought..."Damn, first Kansas gets hit with a tornado and now ISRAEL is going to attack them!"

In the words of Emily Lattella..."Never mind"

#6 Stop talking. Bring heavy artillery up to the front. Every time a missile is launched into Israeli territory initiate rapid fire barrage for 30 minutes in general sector of the origin. No comments, no apologies.

#7 Aw, hell, go high tech - Put a JSTARS up there to watch for the launches, and set the exchange rate at 1 2000 lb JDAM for every missile launched. Response time bonuses for the crews...

#8 someone was actually wounded this time, so I imagine IDF will respond.

#9 Start dropping everything within a 1-block radius of launch points. No warning, just BANG!

#10 A joint Israeli PA operation? and the stupid paleomonkeys shot a watchman? need to either shut the place down or blow it up. ( I vote to blow it up after evacuating all the good guys of course.)

#11 The facility is a transfer point where gasoline from Israel is transferred to PA distributors

The stupid paleomonkeys also decided to hit a facility is only for the benefit of the Paleostinians. I say shut it down.

#13 Guys, Guys, get real, locate the Kassam's launch site and use artillery to level the nearest mosque (Watch for secondaries)fastest response tome possible ,load, aim, shoot.

Repeat until the launches stop or you run out of Mosques.

#14 Repeat until the launches stop or you run out of Mosques.

I like the way you think, RJ. Old Danish saying:

Go to the horse's head, not its tail.

I've always maintained that Islam's clergy should be our prime target. Your suggestion is right on target (so to speak).
