Israel needs to deploy a whole line of cardboard decoy tanks or something and run them out of ammunition.

They say that permission to fire Hezbollah's longer-range missiles, such as those could reach Tel Aviv, would likely require Iranian go-ahead.
I thought the Iranians might be keeping the decision to launch on Tel Aviv in their hands. Nasrallah would have ordered the strikes long ago if he had the authority. If there are missile strikes on Tel Aviv it will signal Iran's desire for a wider war in the region.

Remote controlled scrap decoys painted to look like the real thing, that would probably save some lives.

Metis-M anti-tank missiles and European-made Milan missiles...
....methinks the MSM is gonna try to overhype these as the King Tiger & Panther tanks of the 21st century:
unstoppable, mass-butchering weapons that'll lose the war for the good guys.
To: All
The 9K131 Metis-M (AT-13) is an improved version of the 9K115 Metis (AT-7 SAXHORN). This improved missile has two alternate warheads: a 4.6-kg tandem shaped-charge with a precursor charge for overcoming ERA with a penetration of 800-900 mm of RHA; and a 4.95 kg fuel-air explosive warhead for attacking bunkers and similar targets. This improved missile has a maximum range of 1500 meters.

No more Mr. Nice guy. Flatten them with carpet bombing from the sky. Every building, any structure, all roads. There should be nothing but empty, barren, terrain. Anything that moves should be shot at.
No journalists should be allowed to photograph. All communications jammed. This is all out war. They all must die.

I don't think Iran is ready with its nuke yet, and I don't think there'll be any more escalation of this. It may mean hanging Hez out to dry, but what Iran is obviously planning on is having a UN resolution come in and rescue Hez, which is exactly what's going to happen. Thus Hez won't really be hung out to dry, just a little embarrassed, and they'll start up again as soon the coast is clear.
Iran will strike when it can, but it's not ready yet. Iran probably didn't expect Israel to respond, and Hez certainly didn't expect it. So they're not really ready for a devastating blow - IMHO.

On Friday, Jane's Defense Weekly, a defense industry magazine, reported that Hezbollah asked Iran for "a constant supply of weapons" to support its operations against Israel. The report cited Western diplomatic sources as saying that Iranian authorities promised Hezbollah a steady supply of weapons "for the next stage of the confrontation." Top Israeli intelligence officials say they have seen Iranian Revolutionary Guard soldiers on the ground with Hezbollah troops. They say that permission to fire Hezbollah's longer-range missiles, such as those could reach Tel Aviv, would likely require Iranian go-ahead.
In that case Israel has to go after Iran
They have no other choice
Trying to stop the flow of weapons is not going to work
Crappolla going to really hit the fan in the next several days

"At what point in the near future will we attack Iran?" Don't know.
My thoughts are that the Israeli's need to deal with Hezbullah and Hamas before the time comes. Can't have gnats gnawing at the borders of Israel while dealing with Syria and Iran, huh?

It is time to stop proportional response. You win wars by killing so many of your enemy they beg you to stop. Ask the Germans and Japanese if it was viable for them to continue their "heroic" resistance. It is time to hold the civilian populations that support, aid, comfort, arm, and reproduce terrorist responsible for there actions. No more surgical strikes. No more leadership decapitation efforts. TOTAL WAR. Destroy the Muslim war like Rome destroyed Carthage. Tear down their cities, throw them in the seas. Salt the fields. Demand unconditional surrender.

And you think Israel can let this happen
They are having enugh problems now they can't go through this again with a much stronger Hezballah and Iran and they know it
And you can be sure the US military knows it and will tell Bush so
Our efforts in Iraq are also involved here
This is the defining moment in the ME

Time to use the bunker busters - and time for an investigation into just what the UN 'observers' were doing all those years Hezbolla was up=arming all around them when the were supposed to do the opposite.
Were not the UN 'observers' suppose to be 'observing' the Hezbolla comply with UN 1559? And when they not only weren't, but doing the opposite, why weren't the UN 'observers' notifying KofffeeeMan?
WE should have answers to this....(I just know the UN wasn't buddy-buddy with the people they were living among all those years. After all, we all know how honest and upright the UN is)
'scuse me, I gotta go throw up = I think I made myself sick

If there are missile strikes on Tel Aviv it will signal Iran's desire for a wider war in the region It most likely will result in attacks on Damascus and Tehran
