    I Am Iron Dome!

    Israel successfully tests Iron Dome missile shield / The Christian Science Monitor - CSMonitor.com

    I love this:

    "In wartime, such a tool could be crucial. During Israel's war with Lebanon in the summer of 2006, more than 4,000 Katyusha rockets were fired into Israeli territory...The system has radar detection systems that Rafael says quickly pick up missile launches, transmit data to a computerized launch system, and can then quickly determine if a missile should be launched to intercept the rocket. "If the estimated rocket trajectory poses a critical threat, a command is given within seconds and an interceptor is launched," the company writes. The interceptors themselves are maneuverable and have radars of their own to guide them to the target."



    What's the betting this isn't about the Katyusha as it is modifying it with a warhead that can easily be aimed at the Parliament building in downtown Iran should Israel detect a missile launch from them? Happy days are here again.

    Unfortunately, I don't think we are too awful far away from a global event that alters life for everyone...if it doesn't end it for most.

    I'm not even afraid of the idea anymore, in fact, I find myself looking forward to an end to all that is wrong in this world. I don't see any real need for politicians, war, or anything that gets in the way of peace.
    Technology has done one thing perfectly and THAT is equip us with the power AND ignorance to end the world.

        I hate to admit it, but that was pretty funny.


        Kristy - since nobody's taking your thread seriously, you should just take this opportunity to welcome me back.

          It is their own extremist Israel needs to worry about.

          Death threats ups security for Israeli minister
          By JOSEF FEDERMAN, Associated Press Writer Josef Federman, Wed Jan 6, 1:53 pm ET
          JERUSALEM – Jewish extremists angry over limits on West Bank construction have threatened to kill the defense minister, prompting the government to beef up security around him, officials said Wednesday.

          They said the internal security service, or Shin Bet, was investigating the threats and that Ehud Barak's security has been reinforced in recent weeks.

          Such threats are taken seriously in Israel after Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated in 1995 by a Jewish extremist opposed to his peace moves with the Palestinians.

          Israeli officers cancel UK trip for fear of arrest
          By MARK LAVIE, Associated Press Writer Mark Lavie, Tue Jan 5, 12:29 pm ET
          JERUSALEM – An Israeli military delegation has canceled an official visit to Britain, officials said Tuesday, the latest in a string of politicians and army officials to put off travel to the U.K. because of fears of war crimes prosecution.

          Israel complained that the practice, spearheaded by pro-Palestinian activists, is harming relations, and Britain's visiting attorney general said an urgent solution must be found.

          The Israelis called off their trip because their British army hosts could not guarantee they would not be arrested, the Israeli officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. Neither the Israeli military nor the British government would comment.

          The incident underlined the effectiveness of a pro-Palestinian legal campaign

            If you study what Gog and Magog refer to in the book of Revelations, then you know Israel will prevail anything against it. And the Islamic nations will have about 80 percent of their populations DESTROYED.

            Let's say war with Israel starts today: Muslim population stands loosely at about an estimated 1 billion supposedly.. that would be 800 million Muslims dead!

            Oh, the near joy of the idea -

                Katyusha rockets cannot be easily aimed as they are a "dumb" 1930s/WWII technology and were originally designed as an area destruction artillery barrage weapon. The irony is that Israel is spending billion$ to defeat a technology that is old, cheap, and reliable--and a small fraction of what probably one of their interceptors cost...
