Attention AP: That is a recoilless rifle!

I thought that was a strange looking RPG.

So its some sort of large anti tank rifle?

Yeeouch! Serious piece of hardware there. A lucky (or skilled) shot will take out an Abrams.
(FYI the Abrams is optimized for mobility and not armor protection.) Maybe the Israelis will sell us some Merkavas for this operation.
Say- can we send in some SEAL teams disguised as AP/Reuters/Al Jazeera cameramen? They seem to find the terrorists with no trouble at all.

It gives me a sick feeling in my stomach to know that these monsters are aiming at our brave soldiers!!! I hope we make short work of these terrorists and I pray our guys stay safe and are successful!
