Bombs don't kill people, people do. Likewise, "preciision" of bombing depends on the targets chosen by people and not bombs.

That's a sweet though, but just plain wrong. You mean to tell me that between the unguided rockets being fired by Hez, and the laser-guided weapons fired by Israel, their precision only has to do with the targets chosen?

Unless the bombs AI decides to hit whatever target themselves, yes. Of course the bombs hit the Human chosen target. 😱

The rockets being fired by Hez at Israel are unguided munitions. The basically pull a Ronco "Set it and Forget it", aiming in the direction of Israeli cities, then leaving them on a timer whilest they flee. If you call the the same as what Israel is doing, then by all means, continue to believe it.

Ah, so it is just a constant barage of unguided missiles being launched at your country, I suppose they should not do anything. Sit back and take it like a man right?

Or release the prisoners. How can keeping them incarcerated be more important than saving lives?

Release the prisoners to give them more people to attack Israel with?

Hmmm... keep thjem and suffer the deaths now or release them and hope that many of the prisoners will not take up arms. It's a quandry I admit.

not really. release and you will have rewarded the terrorists for their actions. you will have reinforced their logic. you will have done nothing besides strengthen their cause and will just suffer future attack.

Such exchanges have taken place in the past. It is not the first time Israeli soldiers have been kidnapped and realeased against prisoners taken by Israel. Only this time Israel went with the "Collective Punishement" option against Lebanon as Hizbollah in no way represents all of Lebanon. It is striking how similar the Israeli approach this time is to the US invasion of Iraq where the US also completely razed the infrastructure of Iraq.

I am beginning to think there is a lot to the talk of this operation being part of the "Clean Break" plan.

Israel actually makes lots of domestic precision guided munitions. But because a major reason for the aid to Israel is to help out US defense contractors, the Israeli bombs are mainly for the export market.

Everyone should be supportive of more precisioned bombs. Israel is obviously going after their targets, which are Hezbollah terrorists (oh I'm sorry, militants, that wear civilian clothes and hide behind children, gotta be politically correct).

Hezbollah just ordered more ball-bearing-filled rockets, I bet. No use against military targets, but they can completely destroy an arm or a leg of an innocent child pretty easily. Maximum civilian casualties with these things.

Heh, now that you have finished yapping about your "theory", let's look at the facts shall we? Which side has killed more people? Israel or Hezbollah? How about Israel or Hezbollah plus Hamas?

You say that last few days is not a good reprsentative of what's going on? Then what about over the last 10 years, which side has more dead women, children and civilian?

I wonder how many precision guided bombs and missiles have been used against Southern Lebanon versus dumb projectiles like the 155mm artillery shells.

Heh, I see you find it funny that over 300 Lebanese who has nothing to do with Hezbollah died as the result of "precision" bombing.

I'm still trying to figure out why you have precision in quotes... as if you think 300 is a large number based on the amount of ordnance which has been dropped on Lebanon. Get a clue, kiddo.

Besides they're just innocent Lebanese, not important humans like the Israelis:roll:

Well I guess it really depends which side of the border your house is on...

But I agree Israel should follow the Red Dawn rules of war... when enemy shoots and kills your people, you are permitted to respond, but you must do so without harming anyone but those people who are clearly marked as the enemy. If the enemy chooses to not wear markings, you must take your beatings with a smile.

:roll:

Or your way, kill them all and let God sort them out. Of course if they are going to do that I'd prefer if they did it with their own bombs paid for by themselves instead of my tax dollars.

if they did it that way all of lebanon would look like dresden, but it doesn't. meaning your statement is full of it.

Lebanon: Hezbollah Rocket Attacks on Haifa Designed to Kill Civilians
Anti-personnel Ball Bearings Meant to Harm ?Soft? Targets
In addition, the warheads used suggest a desire to maximize harm to civilians. Some of the rockets launched against Haifa over the past two days contained hundreds of metal ball bearings that are of limited use against military targets but cause great harm to civilians and civilian property. The ball bearings lodge in the body and cause serious harm.

Hezbollah has reportedly fired more than 800 rockets into Israel from southern Lebanon over the past five days, killing 12 civilians and wounding many more. The vast majority of these rockets, as in past conflicts, have been Katyushas, which are small, have a range limited to the border area, and cannot be aimed with precision. Hezbollah has also fired some rockets in the current fighting that have landed up to 40 kilometers inside Israel.

HAH!!

So the bad guys are the ones who kill more?? So the U.S. was the bad guy in WWII? They killed more Germans than they lost U.S. soldiers...same for Japan.

Absurd!!

A better question would be... Who is arming Hezbollah? Looks like Iran with Chinese equipment. This is going to get ugly...

Correction.

Wow, the politicians are supporting Isreal ... when Flordia (a swing state) has a VERY high number of jewish citizens.

SHOCKING!

Go to bed America. We are in control.
