-- GAZA -- "We are acting to hit the Hamas infrastructure ... the final target is to bring an end to the firing of Qassams," Defence Minister Ehud Barak said about the crude rockets.And unlike the Arab Middle East... Israel actually means what it says...
"This will not be achieved in the next two days, but we will continue the activity with all our strength."
"And we need to prepare for escalation, because the big ground operation is real and tangible."So, unless Hamas is sure they're ready for a bloody, brutal second half... they might wanna consider taking that "Katyusha" play out of the lineup.
Unfortunately for the civilian populace though, it appears these guys figure they've got plenty of blood left to spill...
"We are capable of sustaining the fight and tolerating attacks beyond the expectations of the enemy," said Abu Ubaida, spokesman of Hamas's Izz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigades.I dunno, Peyton... the smart money says you audible out here.
But smart isn't really your best thing... is it?

"Consider the US response if Cuba had fired 900 rockets into Florida, or one of the ex-Soviet countries had fired 900 rockets into Russia."*
