| Hamas wings Israeli bird |
| 2008-03-15 |
| Hamas said its fighters fired at and hit an Israeli helicopter flying over northern Gaza Strip on Friday. Hamas military wing, Izzuddin Al-Qassam brigades, said in a statement that it used medium and heavy machineguns in its attack against an Israeli helicopter gunship and hit it. The machineguns hit the helicopter which, according to the statement, left the area and made an emergency landing inside the Jewish state. The Israeli army acknowledged the attack and said the body of the helicopter was hit by the brigades, and considered it a dangerous development against the Israeli airforce. |

| #5 Send 'em three B-52s and all the iron bombs they can carry. Hell, rebuild a dozen B-29s and send THEM against Hamass and the Gaza. Same results. I'm sure the Israelis even have the technology and equipment to convert a 707 or 737 into a bomber, pdq. A-10s are ok, but they don't dig very deep holes. 500lb bombs with four foot fuse extenders do a GREAT job of clearing the area and converting rubble into sand. Lot of collateral damage, but I'm beginning to believe that's the only thing that's going to put an end to the fighting. When ma and the kids get it, pa has the chance real quick to understand it's Hamass' fault. Failing to make that connection may prove fatal. |

| #4 The IDF knows the source of the fire. They just need some dumb bombs dropped and make a 100 meter blast radius. Rapid, overwhelming response. Rinse and repeat. No negotiations. Let Hamas beg the IDF. This could be over in a week. |

| #3 That would be great to see about 40 A-10's chopping them into guacamole. |
