The rockets are launched off the back of PU Trucks.
It’s shoot and scoot!

I can think of many we could send over to be used as human shields.

I used to work at Hughes Aircraft, in Fullerton. In the 80’s, the company made the “FireFinder” radar systems. They located the origin of mortar launches.

I read years ago that the military had a means of computing the origin of mortars. “IF” that is correct, can the US do so?

Counter battery radar.

So, the goat f*ckers want to play? Ok. 40 years after DEMOCRAT incompetence allowed this to start and fester, end it now.

Japan used to be a religious fanatic land. Then they stopped. Oh yeah, getting vaporized tends to do that.

The blueprints for what needs to be have been drawn up.

Do it, Mr. President.

There is a major US strike on Iran just around the corner.

I’m sleeping so great at night these days.

Isn’t the Green Zone for loading and unloading only?

"Can’t they identify where the Rockets are being launched and destroy the place?"

The US has used counter-battery radar in Iraq in the past but I don't know that any is still there. But the PR problem is that the muzzies tend to build makeshift rocket launchers in the beds of a pickup trucks and drive into someplace where the US would be hesitant to shoot back before launching, like next to a mosque or in a densely populated neighborhood. And typically they'll "shoot and scoot," launch and then drive off before any counter-battery fire could reach them.

We know where the rockets come from almost the instant they are launched. The problem is they set the rockets on timers. By the time they launch the insurgents are long gone. Same with mortars.

Then I guess the problem is that they are firing them from hospitals, schools, mosques and other places considered safe places.

Otherwise the drones would pay them a visit.

I really think it is time to use the tactics of General Sherman.

They also move the launchers the moment they let fly, so as to avoid becoming crispy critters. Go to a different site, launch again. Always make sure that following the trajectory will cause the retaliation to fall on a mother and children and several puppies and kittens.
