#1 I'm sure an ARCLIGHT strike down through the heart of the Gaza Strip would do wonders to improve the likelihood that the arabs would observe a cease-fire the next time they declared one. Of course, it would be difficult to NOT tip our hand, as we'd have to pull the Israelis back at least five miles from the border. Otherwise, we'd have lots of Israeli casualties, too. I'm also sure it would bring Hezbollah to the fear of God if we ran a few strikes down between the Israeli border and both sides of the Litani. Of course, that's just old ignorant me, who believes that superior firepower is a waste of time unless you use it to persuade the enemy to adopt your point of view. |
