#1 I like my dime store novels just like my orange juice - extra pulpy.

#2 "Multi-Winged aircraft"... Could it be, yes, maybe it is, the return of the World War 1 Flying Ace atop his trusty Sopwith Camel.
"If I can't find that cursed Red Baron, this workshop full of locally-made short-range missiles, capable of limited destruction capacity, yet having psychological impact will have to do."

#3 "The Palestinians, who cannot import heavy arms from abroad due to Israeli measures, have designed these rockets, using meagre materials available on the local market."

Maybe they should look into making tourist handicrafts instead? I imagine there would be quite a European fancy for little hand-carved statues of Arafat.

#5 Methink the esteemed RB Supremo is moonlighting as a pulp novel writer, and is giving us not-so-subtle hints about it. Stop playing with our minds, dammit!

#6 mabey they should glass the inside of the perimeter fence

From an israeli point of view, the outside would be much better.

#8 I doubt the Israeli are really doing much except PR to their own citizens. Are we suppost to believe that Israel did not know this was a makeshift factory making rockets till now or they just held off knowing this till now.

A better solution would be to hit the HAMAS leadership again

#12 I hereby nominate our fearless RB leader for a Pulitzer Prize. His writing is much better than the fishwrap put out by the MSM that passes as news these days (and is much more entertaining to boot).

#13 Don't most aircraft have more than one wing?

I keep expecting Mike Hammer to show up, somehow...

Not only that, but he also models the cover art.

#20 The strike, however, inflicted extensive damage in nearby buildings and panicked civilians, namely children, huddling indoors.

I can only wonder how much of that "extensive damage" was caused by secondary ignition of ancillary flammables, like rocket motors and warheads, so carelessly stored near those huddling children. Funny how the article's author failed to make note of that.
