#2 No Shit. Were they carrying real mortar rounds?

One hit, is all it would take.
Secondaries up the ying-yang, you betcha.

#3 "the PA has always consumed and not produced. The PA provides security and law and it collects taxes," while Hamas provides destitute locals with badly needed social services. And a chance to become martyrs.

Yes Hamas has so much more to offer the Paleostinian job market.

Also, people marching around with mortar rounds and RPG's at the big dog's funeral are fair game for the IDF. Since the PA feel to impotent to confiscate ordnance, someone's gotta do it.

#4 You know Paul I have oftened wondered why they/we don't launch a strike when they have one of these big pow wows? Seems to me that if you have a concentration of your enemy that would be a good time to strike? Probably too many Women/Children at them. But they seem to support the cause. Wonder how supportive they are after a few missiles are hurled at the crowd? Seems only fair since Hamas likes to target civs.

#5 Cyber Sarge---At least we should hit the coffin being carried by gunnies. They know that Israel has a conscience about deliberately hitting civvies. They consider it a weakness of their enemy (Israel). But the same gunnies have no compunction about blowing up kids on a bus. I hate to get down to their level, but we KNOW that the Hamas big dogs will be hiding around civvies after these last missile hits. A couple of more missles at the hiding leaders and the civvies will avoid the big dogs like the plague.
