#1 IMHO, this sort of tactic will not likely work more than a couple of times. I suspect the SOP's have already changed. I suspect the Harriers and Apaches are on a pretty short leash along with the Predators.

If I were in charge of the virgin-making machine in "L-allah Land", I'd be warming it up, and calling in the minions for OT.

#4 It is getting harder and harder for the Iraqi insurgents to muster masses of men and materiel for an attack. It is shooting their wad for them. It takes much time and preparation to get everything together for such an attack. Their supply line is getting stretched and vulnerable.

As for the Israelis, they have been operating with one hand behind their back. Some Paleos and their terrorists friends stage a mass attack, the IDF would not be as surgical as they did on the Yassin strike. They will bring in the jet aircraft and level the place. There will be no refuge for Paleo terrorists, and hell will be delivered from above. Abbas and his PA juniors cannot afford to let ONE attack of this type happen on Israel.
