#1 Palestinians are manufacturing new multiple-rocket launchers with Palestinian Authority funding.

Yeah, so let's make sure that foreign funding keeps rolling in. It's for the children you know...

#2 The Palestinians have concluded that, even if the Israeli air force knocks out some of their Quds-3 rocket systems, they will still be left with enough launchers to cause heavy Israeli casualties and damage in the towns within range of Gaza.
So the Israelis are left with the option of overrunning and annihilating them. Sounds about right.

#3 The Paleos are "stuck on stupid." Firing a few 122's will only reap them a handy allocation of much deserved 155 counter battery fire.

#4 The Paleos are "stuck on stupid."

Seriously stuck.

These savages need to be removed from the gene pool, STAT.

#5 The crew pulls back some 60 meters from the launcher and releases the rockets by pulling the wire.

NB: mechanical, not electrical.

#6 Push is going to turn to shove, as in the Paleos being shoved into the sea. Enough of the defensive measures by Israel, innocent Israelis are the targets.

Time for the Israelis to take serious pre-emptive action, a la the Bush Doctrine.

#7 now that they are an effective state, the Paleos will find no skirts to hide behind. Demolish them and their stupid dreams, agreed, STAT

#8 Okay, artillerymen, you will now be firing a TOT on a circle with a 60m radius.

3.14(pi)*120m(diameter) = ~380m circumference.

Coverage of a 155mm HE round, 50m. Ergo, with 8 rounds, over the circumference of the circle, you will most likely take out the firing crew. Throw in 2 more for the launcher and problem solved.

#9 105mm Howitzer, 30m. Calculate accordingly.

#10 What a fine excuse for the Israelis to simply blast each and every large multi-ton vehicle in the entire Palestinian Terrortories to he|| and back again. Seeking ever-larger toys of destruction should carry with it ever-increasing penalties. Blowing the snot out of all Palestinian commercial cargo carrying capacity sounds like just the place to start. F&ck knows that if there were such things as 13 ton ambulances, the Palestinians would have camouflaged this launch system as one. As Robert Crawford so aptly observed, never has such a hapless collection of f&ckwits trodden the face of this earth.

#12 What percent of the Paleos in Gaza know how to swim?

What percent of those are good enough to swim down the Coast to Egypt?

#13 Paleos being shoved into the sea
Finally, there's been a huge lack of "Push 'em into the sea recently"

#14 Only 13 tons? The paleo-pterrs have quite the ambitious program going there. I've always been envious of their glut of smelly, swarthy, stupid Aerospace engineers. Be afraid ISR. Be very afraid! (C'mon, Lets re-grow those grapes and just- "Git 'er Done". How 'bout it?

#15 "No word on how far the pieces will fly when the IDF takes this monster out."
