Can’t wait for the IDF response...
Isn't that in Ohio?
I believe if the IDF responds then Hizbola(SP) in Lebanon will launch an attack on Israel. They will have a two fron war. Possibly three if Syria gets into the act.
two front war
I think he said something about "...if Ashkelon is bombed, you can call me Meyer." No, wait, that was Berlin and Hermann Goering. Minor error - sorry.
He ought to resign, followed a few seconds later by the dissolution of the government by Foolmert. Of course, that statement is predicated on either of them having any integrity, so it won't happen. Neither will much except bombing a few empty buildings.

Ashkelon will see it and fear; Gaza will writhe in agony, and Ekron too, for her hope will wither. Gaza will lose her king and Ashkelon will be deserted.
No, you’re thinking of Cleveland, I’d say...
They're going to get that sometime soon ANYWAY. Better at a time of Israel's choosing than that of its enemies.
Does the IDF not have counter-battery radar?
This showdown has been 60 years in the making. The US has convinced the Israelis to sit on the sidelines for the last 15 years of so, and not respond to attacks with sufficient force to render the enemy incapable of furhter prosecuting the hostilities. Maybe it’s time to take of the gloves.

Last time Hezbullah jumped in they got smacked. I think that while they still talk tough - their leadership knows that their standing in Lebanon suffered as other Lebanese are tired of paying for Hezzbullah's stupid ways. That said, nobody accused these yahoos of being smart, so yes -- they may jump in and get smacked again.
As an old artilleryman—where is the counterbattery fire against this rocketry?
Never mind iffen you don’t HIT too many of the guilty. If the Denizens knew that every rocket would get a “battery six” response (6 per gun from a battery of six guns), they they might respond with “not in my back yard” to the Muzzies.
Now, Israel?
The level of civilian casualties would be unacceptable, palestinian civilian casualties that is.

Looks like the stage is set..
Hizbullah is armed and ready, the Gazoids are stepping it up..
Time for Olmert to cut bait or fish..
Yes, of course; it is primarily useful against a repeating target (although we are working on that as well).
These are basically very large bottle rockets (with a warhead). There is no infrastructure but a rod or a plastic (poly-vinyal chorlride).
At the moment of firing, the criminal scoot away.
Typicall they shoot from behind roofs of houses or the like of people they don’t like, stores, etc., so it is difficult to return fire non-ballistically.
From your fingers to G-d’s ears.
There are difficult political and practical reasons why the direct response cannot be easily utilized.
Spotting drones are helping greatly in this regard.
