#1 The way to stop this is for the Juice to deploy an F-150 to tow a tactical nuclear mortar launching Q Ship along the border.

Straight 6, 5 speed and a sliding rear window to facilitate communication between the trucks driver and the ships captain.

#5 DEBKA so SALT:

First signs of Hamas cracking, Israel lets Gazan delegates leave for Cairo

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

January 10, 2009, 12:29 PM (GMT+02:00)
Israel's Gaza offensive on 15th day

Israel's Gaza offensive on 15th day

As Hamas showed first signs of cracking under Israel's massive 14-day assault, three Gaza leaders were allowed by Israel and Egypt to make their way secretly to Cairo for a second round of ceasefire talks â this time without conditions.

DEBKAfile's military sources report Jemal Abu Hashem, who rarely appears on public, Salah Bardaweel, leader of Hamas parliament faction, and Heiman Ta'a, member of the military wing's command were allowed to exit Gaza, Friday, Jan 9 and make their way to the northern Sinai town of El Arish. From there, an Egyptian military flight flew them to Cairo. They were permitted to leave after consenting to an unconditional ceasefire, dropping their demand for open Gaza crossings and accepting that Israeli forces would hold their present lines.

More details about this developing story later.

#6 Hamas hitting a major Isreali airbase is like the proverbial room full of monkeys sitting at typewriters trying to write Shakespeare...sooner or later they (Hamas) are bound to get something done.

Sarcasm off :-)

#7 Actually, Hamas hits their target 100% of the time. They aim at the ground, and they always hit it. Sometimes the ground is near a kindergarten, sometimes it is near a military base.

#10 Actually, the nearest Israeli military base is about 35Km due east of Rafah, about halfway between Rafah and Beersheba. Even if Hamass could hit it, they wouldn't do any damage. Everything essential to operations is pretty well hardened. Google Earth coordinates: 31°14'3.25"N, 34°37'36.59"E. There's another airfield near Ashdod - they MAY have hit that. The only other military airfield in the area is Dimona, and it's outside even the farthest range of a Grad rocket.
