GAZA, April 18 (Reuters) - The Hamas militant group on Sunday vowed "100 retaliations" to avenge Israel's killing of top leader Abdel-Aziz al-Rantissi in a missile strike.

"We declare the status of alert and public readiness within all our fighting cells...until the 100 retaliations, which will shake the criminal entity, are done," its military wing Izz al-Deen al-Qassam said in a statement.

All wheelchair. No jihad.

So what's the name of the new guy in charge?
I pick April 30th.

Some what else is new? How many more of their own children are they going to recruit for this retribution? When will the Palestinian people going to demand an end to these homicide bombings?

[arjay]

Let me see if I understand their problem.

It is okay for suicide bombers and others to kill hundreds or even thousands of innocent civilians, but it is a crime to kill the man who orders those murders.

Yeah, right!

Seems to me that in a few hours, as they hold the funeral, it would be a great time to test a MOAB.

What a surprise.

So what's the name of the new guy in charge?

Abul Somethingorother, but his friends call him 'Short Straw'.

I thought they vowed that for killing that old guy last time. Oh wait that was 1,000 retaliations.

[areafiftyone]

Oh I thought they called him "two bricks shy"

After launch, the missile's camera provides a video feed via fibre optic wire back to the gunner's screen

"Quick Mohammed, the scissors!"

Actually I'm kind of surprised that these high-targetable terrorist VIPs aren't tootling around with some kind of antimissile technology, courtesy of our "friends" the Chinese. Unless having one on their car would make them too obvious.

LOL

[The Red Zone]

How many more of their own children are they going to recruit for this retribution?

At some point the sheer math of this would ensure they'd die as a society. All their progeny dead waging suicide attacks.

[scottinoc]

So now they're getting their threat ideas from Disney movies, what's next "101 Retaliations"?

[LoudRepublicangirl]

Have we not heard this before? Yes, this is what we expect them to do. I'm sure the big guys in Israel figured there will be retaliation. These terrorists are not the only ones who have become hardend by war-I think the Israelis have had enough and see that they have no other choice.

With Rantisi dead the quality of their propaganda has already taken a turn for the worse!

[Travis McGee]

We should be using LOTS of them in Iraq, on anyone wearing a mask carrying a weapon.

[Betteboop]

Funny but sad!!!

[The Red Zone]

What's a virgin?

And this from the Slate, even.

Piteous. They will not send their toughest and best warriors to fight like men, which would have some respectability even if their cause is terribly deluded. No. They send little children. Somehow even the left has got to loathe this, if they have an atom of life left in their bleeding hearts.
