#1 "Samhadana" must be Arabic for "fugitive from the laws of probability."

#2 The good news is that the Israeli's won't miss twice. Sharon should have raided the compound a long time ago. Now that Arafart is barbecuing in hell (no martyrdom=no BJ's from bearded virgins), there is absolutely NO EXCUSES!!!!

Hey Sharon, there is no reforming these people. THEY HATE JEWS!!!!

#3 I'm convinced that these near misses (too many to be bad aim, IMO) are caused my the IAF putting in smaller warheads to minimize "collateral dameage."

#4 Xbalanke, IAF has switched from helizapping to to UAVzapping. A lot cheaper to keep in the air, stealthier - they can fly up behind a vehicle without them noticing, unlike a helicopter.

#5 Baloney. They obviously noticed, else they would not have bailed out of the car successfully. And I bet he doesnt travel at night, just so they can see if anything is up there.

Good thing is that I bet he pays thru the nose for bodyguards.

#6 Jimbo, From this report all four occupants of the car were wounded, so if they bailed they didn't get too far before the missile hit. Also it looks from the picture that the missile hit the engine and didn't destroy the vehicle interior, which is what you would expect from a small heat seeking missile. I think its reasonable to conclude the missile hit before they bailed. The report of the car exploding afterwards probably refers to a vehicle fire and normal Arab embellishment.
