File under: Hamas

#1 I'd rig up a few D9s for remote control and send them through and over any defences or boobytraps the Paleos have set.

#2 How 'bout those flail tanks that are so effective against mines? Why haven't I seen any of those?

#3 Gorb,
Not even a flail tank can stand a charge of 200 Kg TNT under its belly.
The Hamas learned that and probably prepared a lot of these massive booby traps for Israeli tanks.
I hope the IDF has learned the lessons well and has something up their sleeves to counter this.
When you are fighting animals you have to use cunning !

#5 It's not difficult to rig unmanned ground vehicles to sweep through a mine field. If the charges are set to go off only with heavy equipment, tho, that woud require UGVs that IDF probably doesn't have available.

#7 How bout a fleet of light pickups with a cutout of a dozer blade on the front, bright lights, PA system playing dozer noises, rc drive them. Then for added effect, have some trucks behind them holding bigass movie screens like the drive-in type and backlight movie scenes onto them...I suggest original War of the Worlds craft and sound or a dude dressed as Elijah making boogity faces; AT-ATs might be fun too and some big time laser pointers would add to the effect with the smoke and all. Time the movie with artillery and bombs to make it look like the movie is making the explosions. Parachute some Ruperts with wireless PA capability to make background screaming noises and false conversation and have them walk around like humpbot.

#8 Will this op be still under way when adult supervision in DC ends Jan. 20? Will this be the young guy's first test? Won't his near-certain inability to change a thing about it or influence events in any way be hilarious - well, at least to observant freaks on the margins, as the "press" will surely not allow such obvious facts and unhappy/unhelpful thoughts to creep into the teeny-bopper fantasy story that they're desperate to prolong?
