Listening to Rush the woman from Atlasshrugged.com phoned in, reported that Hillary was booed and Elie Wiesel thanked God President Bush is President.

Evidently everyone cheered his comments. Can't wait to see the video, or hear the audio.

That comes down to ordnance choice and fusing, with the right choices you can generate sufficient concussion to detonate the mines without making the ground impassable. I'm making the assumption that the IDF has access to any and all available types of ordnance.
An IED needs to be placed close enough to a track that they know you will take to be effective. Most of them will require remote detonation and in an area that has been recently targeted a doofus hanging around with a cell phone in his hand might as well have a bullseye on his forehead.

Max Reynolds was with ABC News, and is deceased

I believe you're confusing Max Robinson...who I believe committed suicide or died of aids...and Frank Reynolds, who died of cancer.

oh boy, they better hope there were no casualties at the hospital. An incident like this could set the Israeli population off, they would be marching on Jerusalem/TelAviv calling for Olmert's head if he didn't put the petal to the metal

Good gravy, this man is a showboat.

I had to turn on CNN (yes, CNN) until Shep was gone.

If their intended target was the hospital, their targeting ability is significant, depending on the range.

Israel is fairly united...except for perhaps the Yossi Beilin crowd...

The Jewish ideal is one of a world at peace - peace between people and God, between people and nature, between nations and between people. The idea is of a removal of evil from this world and the response of man to live under the sovereignty of God, His Creator: for the fullness of the Dominion of the Earth shall be the Lord's. That is the Jewish idea of peace and is not merely the mere absence of conflict. The former idea of peace exists in every Jewish heart and soul. Its about a transformation of the earth so it comes to be under the kingdom of God. May we all merit to live in it and may the dead be resurrected soon and may the Temple be speedily rebuilt in our lifetime and may God make peace in his high heavens as well peace for us and for all Israel. Amen.

(Go Israel Go! Slap 'em down Hezbullies.)
