#1 Olmert is going to spend $(US)97000000 to fortify homes in Sderot. For a lot less than that they could clear an area 4.5 km from the Israeli border in Gaza.

Napalm is pretty cheap then?

#5 A Phalanx system only costs about $5.5M, and would blast every incoming rocket and mortar to bits. The only expense beyond that would be airburst ammo and noise abatement.

#6 A Phalanx souns good, but I wouldn't worry about "Airburst Amminution" who cares where in Gaza the spent slugs land, I sure don't.

Now a radar sighted automatic five inch gun with "Beehive" ammo sounds better, Shotgun them out of the air.
