| #8 DoesnÂ’t the Israeli arsenal consist of AC - 130 Spooky's. These seem perfect for this kind of war. |

| #7 The Israeli home front seems to be holding up well. Lotsa Jooooooooooos are being reminded in a not so subtle fashion of why they are fighting. |

| #6 Redneck, You won't see them because they were 'just jews' in the MSM's eyes. Now if someone had farted in the presence of the Koran now... that would be splashed over every headline! |

| #5 So where's the Qana-like media tearfest over this incident? I don't see photos of dead Israelis on the front of every MSM website. |

| #4 So shoot the mules, I remember that in Vietnam they used Elephants and we shot them. (Some spectacular secondary explosions were reported) Smaller targets, but better shots and better rifles now. |

| #3 This struck me as a key point, although I imagine the IDF is fully aware of it: Iran and Syria are constantly restocking HizballahÂ’s diminishing supplies of rockets of all types, launchers and operating manpower by a round- the-clock airlift from Iran via Syrian military air fields. Some of the incoming supplies are destroyed by Israeli air attacks as they cross into Lebanon, but a substantial part is conveyed to Hizballah by smuggling networks employing mules to traverse Lebanese mountain paths. |

| #2 DEBKA says the dead were IDF reservists. It seems like Kiryat Shmona is getting hit with dozens of rockets every day. How is it that the IDF can't get a location on their launch points by now? |
