F*** using a bulldozer. Use a B-83.

Thank you very much, thank you very much!
It isn't every day, good fortune comes me way
I never thought the future would be fun for me!
And if I had a bugle, I would blow it to add a sort
o' how's your father's touch.
But since I left me bugle at home, I simply have to say
Thank you very, very, very much! Thank you very, very, very much!

Pretty strong stuff on an American girl who died young, but I'm afraid it's fully justified.

I think Irael is downwind of the target.

Israel needs to destroy both the house the tunnel families actually lived in (which they regard as disposable) AND the house given to them as a reward.

Hamas and Islamic Jihad like to claim that their attacks are merely 'tit for tat' retaliation against Israeli aggression.

This clearly wasn't. This diplomat, Wolf(e), was in the Strip to interview Palestinian yout's for Fulbright Scholarships.

So, is it now our turn to retaliate?

Yeah, I would. I mean, we do have the U.S. 7th Fleet parked nearby, do we not? Not to mention, one heckuva lot of combat capacity sitting right there in Iraq, Qatar, etc.

So what do we do? Well, let's ask the IDF to identify their next 6 targets, and offer to service the first three for them. In about 6 hours. Yeah, that sounds about right. You wanna see shock & awe? We'll show you shock & awe, baby!!!

Don't start an a$$-kickin' contest with the cowboy who's wearin' the biggest boots on the planet.

6th Fleet. 7th Fleet is based in Yokosuka, Japan.

I still vote for "Take off and nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure."

Doh!! I knew that...Dad manned a minesweeper with them back in the day.

I gotta admit, nukes bother me...too much long-term and collateral damage. A MOAB, on the other hand...

After today's bombing, I can't find it within myself to feel any pity for anyone in the so-called occupied territories. They ask for every bit of grief the Israelis and the US hand 'em.

As for us financing them...that's just wrong.

"I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

AGREED!

How does that song go?

"These boots are made for walking,
And that's just what they'll do.
One of these days these boots
Are gonna walk all over you!"

You betcha!
Wipe the Palestinians off the face of the earth!

Poohbah, I like the way you think!

These tunnels and the tunnelers deserve the Carl Spackler treatment.

The Marines make sense and I am sure there is some nice MEU who would LOVE to avenge their brothers (241 dead in Beiruit) :-) The moon god's cult of death is truly a sick one.

At this, point, I'm all for demolishing the homes of terrorist collaborators in the United States. We can start with the Corries' house.
