#1 Why not? It's worked well for the Hezbies in southern Lebanon

#2 Is there any kind of "plausible deniability" weapon that could take out all those big-wigs hiding in Syria?

Anybody make a stealth cruise missle that looks like a car bomb when it goes off?

#3 Damn straight they don't want any international observers in Gaza; they might report the truth about the brave lions of Islam. And we can't have that.

#4 Intl observers would be more efficient in weapon detection than in Lebanon because Gaza is smaller (detectors work better when the Israelis can tell the inspectors where the bombs are). They also might report Hamas atrocities against regular Gazans.

#5 mhw - you're assuming international ~~fellow travelers~~ observers will actually look for weapons and actually report anything bad about Ham-Ass.

What would make them start now?

#6 detectors work better when the Israelis can tell the inspectors where the bombs are

Simpler look for the craters where the weapons *were*. If you want real-time, watch for secondaries.
