#1 Launching missiles at civilian centers, invites retaliatory area bombardment by artillery. Israel will take the hits in exchange for disproportionate retaliation. Can't wait until the G8 is over. There will be a nice little secret consensus on what to do with proliferators.

#2 Grads are not Katyshas, a 122mm artillery rocket which are a relic of WWII. They are a modern Russian built MRL system. The BM-21 MRL uses the Grad missile.

#4 Gee. It's gonna be fun watching the Petro factories being destroyed in exchange for Lebanon's power stations / bridges. Not bad at all.

#7 Obviously, from the sheer volume, these are supplied from Iran. These chumps have np way of acquiring these independently. What other evidence is required to attck Iran now ?

#8 The international community may or may not accept Isarael's word on the origin of the rocket - although I don't hear many demurrals.

More important is issues of tactics, logistics and timing. It's not clear Bush or our forces in Iraq are ready for that move yet. OTOH, last winter a senior Israeli leader said that if the Iranian nuclear program wasn't dismantled by August it would be too late. And Bush has said they will not be allowed to have nuclear arms.

Note that the head of Mossad is due in Washington this week to discuss the Iranian program. He may be held in Israel due to the fighting but it's a sign ....

#11 Shavitch Glesh8218 has awfully good English. D'you s'pose he's one of the many Pakistanis who ran back/was shipped back when the Muslim men had to check in with Immigration? You know, all those who'd settled in the US on expired visas and such? He must miss home terribly to hang around here at this time.
