#1 Any chance they'll experience a premature BOOM before they arrive to a designated area in Lebanon or Gaza?

#2 This type of action helps to paint targets on all Muslims. Moderate Muslims (hopefully not a mythological being)must purge themselves of the splodeydopes or suffer the consequences at some point.

#3 Maybe the favour needs to be returned?

#4 "We will not carry out attacks indiscriminately."

If organizations have to distinguish their future plans from their past actions in this manner, it should confirm that the term Youth Movement has opposite connotations in different parts of the world.

#6 Not to mention that they also threatened Australia's John Howard.

#7 We need to build a new bomber - one that can carry hundreds of dumb, iron bombs inside its bomb bay, fly around the world twice without refueling, and penetrate just about any airspace in the world with impunity. Every time one of these splodeydopes goes "boom", his home town should be visited by ten or twelve of these new bombers, during the wee hours of the morning. Sooner or later the splodeydopes will learn not to target US or allied interests, or there won't be anyone left alive to be a splodeydope. That seems to be the only message they really understand, so we should send it to them.

#8 We used to have the basic capacity OS; it was called the CVA or Attack Aircraft Carrier. And while far from supersonic speeds and mass distances, it mere presence would cause the bad guys to rethink what was happening. And the aircraft then carried had a range AND capacity for many miles and many pounds of bombs. Think Intruders and a dark stormy night, low level and 15K worth of dumb bombs hung on each one. Toss in a couple of KA-6D tankers and they had the legs and ability to go in low and deliver a nasty wake up call to whoever deserved it. The Lawn Darts just don't have the legs or capacity for that many bombs and with IFR now the province of the USAF (and a couple of S-3As and/ or Lawn Darts with a buddy store), we are reduced to hitting the beach and that's about all. No more far inland flights. Yeah the A-6 was about as stealthy as a barn door and nowhere near as sexy as the Lawn Dart or anything the AF has, but for pure boom/ pound, only the BUFF beat it. (I am not a fan of the Hornet, can ya tell?)

#9 More than 200 Islamic militants from Southeast Asia have
been sent on missions to bomb Israel's "vital interests" and countries that support the Jewish state, their leader said on Friday.

Won't these splodadopes sort of stand out in Israel?

#10 JohnQC, they would target targets outside Israel, withing Israel that would be suicide.

Wait....

#11 Israel guards its borders pretty well. I can't imagine they'd be permitted off the airplanes or through the border crossings. They're just engaging in histrionics for the girls back home.

#12 Thanks, I see, the Beirut Bob syndrome is at work--flaming seas of fire, yada yada yada.

#13 It this isn't an invitation for Muslim Youth Movement leaders and members to go boom in their homes while sleeping, then I don't know what is.

#14 It looks like an invitation to leave their sisters and girl friends in the hands of the chairman. You see, he had to stay home because 72 wasn't enough for him.
