#1 IDF: Happy hunting! Third time's a charm, they say!

#2 The way to kill Yassin us to first capture him, then throw him into the path of stampeding pigs. Be sure to watch him crawl in the other direction!

#3 I think the Egyptians and Jordanians have quietly 'approved' the take out of Yassin.

#4 Running short of stupid men?

I think this is aimed at world opinion - imagine how oppressed they must be if even young mothers etc etc

#5 Anyone within a half-mile radius of that worm should know they're taking their lives into their own hands. Unleash the high-explosives, and let any "bystanders" be damned. F*ck that pinpoint shit. The sooner Yassin goes toes-up the better. Then carpet bomb his funeral procession.

#6 "We do not fear the threat of death," Yassin, wrapped in a brown blanket, told reporters outside the mosque.

That's the green light. Have at it, IDF. And happy hunting.

Air force helicopters launching missiles have been used in most of the targeted killings, which Palestinians denounce as assassination of their leaders.

"Ohhh, the pain, the pain." -- Dr. Smith, Lost in Space

Without giving details, Halutz said the air force and military intelligence have developed "pinpoint" methods to "hit only those who deserve it." However, dozens of bystanders have been killed in air strikes in towns, cities and refugee camps.

Have there been any earlier instances of the use of Human Shields&trade ?

#7 ...Actually, if you want to REALLY mess with Sheik Yassin's turbaned lil' brain...kill all his bodyguards, leave him alone.

#8 Wipe out the entire Gaza Strip. Capture all the inhabitants, sort out the militants and hang them, and march the rest into Egypt where they belong. Build the new fence right out into the Mediterranean, and start training sharks to take out the swimmers. Then tell Arafart he's next.

#9 Excellent idea Mike and steal his handicapped permit. Destroy every ramp, elevator, wide restroom in Gaza and send the Italian mechanics to work on his wheelchair's brakes.

#10 The IDF needs the equivalent of counterbattery fire applied to fatwas. Issue a fatwa promoting terrorism and the next word the Imam utters is "INCOMING!" Actually, when properly tuned up the system will hit before its presence is known. That will be the Mark II unit.

#12 The Israelis are like 18-year-old virgins talking about their mythical sexual exploits. They need to stop talking and start doing. Yassin is still alive and Rantissi is still alive. What's wrong with this picture? And why does Hamas still have a leadership at any level? Shouldn't Israel start taking Hamas-linked mullahs down - every last one of them? Put out the word - anyone who takes money from Hamas is a target. Any principal who teaches that Jews should be killed should be shot.

#13 Israelis are like 18-year-old virgins talking about their mythical sexual exploits.

Not exactly... they're more like 47 year old double divorcees remembering the past.

#14 agreed, Zhang, still sharp as a tack I see. Why is he still alive, indeed? I mean he can't run far! Pop him!

And keep building that happy fun fence... keep building and when it's done Israel can finally wash their hands of the Islamic palestinians!
