There were no injuries in the Palestinian attack.

The CFR can stop rocket attacks? More impressive than I thought.

Lemme get this straight now...

This “Iron Dome” thing of which you speak...

Is this not a developmental relative of that Regan “Star Wars” thing that the Liberals all said would never, could never, ever work?

..I guess the Israelis are pretty smart folks.

Analyze trajectory. Cluster bomb origin. Follow up with FAE. Rinse and repeat as necessary until the aggressors quit attacking.

Why, yes. Yes, it is. The Israelis have a gift for this stuff. Necessity is the mother of invention after all.

And if Obama and Kerry had gotten their way, Israel would have thousands of bombs pointing directly down on her from the high ground (judean and samarian hills) Obama was trying ( is still hoping) to force israel to give away to the terrorists.

Analyze trajectory. Cluster bomb origin.

Absolutely. Probably just a few more lines of code and a relative amount of hardware for a precision response.

“...just a few more lines of code...”

...and one more bit of self-propelled, self-guided ordnance.

Israel simply ought to make the ground-to-ground response launch system entirely automatic, with programmed lock-outs to prevent it striking any GPS coordinates within Israel.

Make it a headline news story for a couple of days in a row. Let the muzzies test to see if it’s really true. Let their dead testify that it is. The just sit back and let it work.
