patmac: Never sure of your figures at any time. But, it proves one thing firing rockets all day long does not work, and then the folk you were firing them at retaliate and do a better job. And then you complain
Get real you said yourself they had been firing rockets so ...
YOU REAP WHAT YOU SEW....
well said
plus you got SEW right. (I hink my selling was wrong ... s/b sewn)
Paldi5: Well for one thing it gave Saddam a reason to hate Israel lob some scuds at Israel years later in Gulf War 1.
And it gives Iran a reason to believe Israel is seriously threatening them because of their quest to build nuclear power plants and possibly bombs.
Third, it's a lesson on how to fool the world and start building bombs in the basement without getting caught.
Fourth it's a lesson on how nuclear bombs can be used to obtain favors from America and as a deterrent.
Reap what is sown.
Nonsense,Fred!
actually he lobbed Scuds at Israel,hoping they'd fight back,and thus bust up the Coalition!Since it was not likely to keep the Coalition together with Israel a Party in the First Gulfwar! Well,he reckoned wrong!

Well that's true too, but I kinda think the Osrak reactor thing made him a little angry, don't you think?
Well for one thing it gave Saddam a reason to hate Israel lob some scuds at Israel years later in Gulf War 1.
Israel was not part of the Coalition during GW1 and they still get attacked and you wonder why the are the way they are.
Also what has this to do with the point of the thread?
Not a lot.
Get back on the thread and stop feeding me good ammunition.
Thank you.
True, I'm not at my best this morning... gotta run to work. Big tech training thing going on and a negotiation brewing.
In the mean time, hold the fort and keep things balanced. With so many people holding forth on one side or the other, it's rare to see people supporting the middle ground.

Have a nice day, and try to read a different book today
SilverBirch: In the last 10 years only one Thai farm worker has been killed by the rockets.
385 children were slaughtered. Not to mention the Other 500 plus non-combatants slaughtered.
The rockets achieved results from their shock value and nose thumbing at the IDF.
I'm glad their effectiveness as a weapon of death was so limited to the point of maybe killing less than a dozen people over years of trying and thousands fired. I suppose those who fired them off know that, but it is a matter of pride, to say they are 'resisting'.
On the other hand, the opposing side used this to further their aims and the net result is, I think, a loss for the Palistianian side, branding them as terrorists and killers of children in kindergarden. I bet more people in the US died from 4th of July fireworks in the past 10 years.

If they had access to better weapons they would use them. Using the Rockets is not like kids do on the 4th.
These rockets can and do kill.
The use of the rockets gives the Israeli's the right to retaliate.
Solution.
STOP USING THE ROCKETS AND THEN NO RETALIATION.....Pretty simple really
SilverBirch: Peace to you Ms. I realize that it requires a serious personality flaw , like mine and Conrads, to sit here and pour over hours , days, months and even years of wasted energy on a forum that is only viewed by 10 or 15 people at most.
Mine is born out of uncontrollable frustration at the state of affairs in the United States. And further, the , once proud stature of Americans, now being equated to the Zionist war mongers.
They are steering our foreign policies and adversely impacting American and world economies.
SilverBirch: Conrad all you do is say "Fark" Carol Moore the Anarchist! and Fark the EU Fark the UN Fark Jimmy Carter Fark Amnesty International Fark ! Fark!
