Point of information

If you're Hamas, and you can't find a place in the north-eastern end of the Gaza Strip (see satellite view here) from which to fire rockets into Israel that does not put a school, a hospital, an apartment building etc. within the target zone for counterbattery fire, it's because you're not even trying.

I'm pretty sure they're being "prosecuted" right now by superior air and land power.

:P

As for the other part of your comment, yes, and it's disgusting. Using UN marked ambulances to transport militia, waging firefights surrounded by civilians, etc etc etc.


Classy!

On the up side, it's encouraging to see US-built F16 Falcons, F15 Eagles, AH64 Apaches and M1 Abrams tanks perform so well in urban environments.

Maybe we could move those assembly lines to Detroit and other Rust Belt regions as an economic pick-me-up. God knows California has other forms of income.

California, I understand, is going bankrupt. Word is they'll be sending out IOUs for 2009 state tax refunds, and the state unemployment fund only has enough money for one more week of benefit checks — then either the state stops paying unemployment, the state borrows money to back them with, or the checks start bouncing.

Huh. It was 16 years ago (well, 16 years last June) that cymrullewes, the Silly Goose, and I left California. Right as we crossed the bridge and the state line into Arizona, we turned round and directed resounding raspberries behind us.

Weird.

I took an Amtrak from somewhere in eastern Orange County in December of 1992.

DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excuse me. cymrullewes has just pointed out that I can't COUNT.


2002 was SIX years ago.

I think you confused it with when you moved TO California.
