Israel’s Iron Dome system is a game changer. It literally shoots rockets headed for Israeli civilians out of the sky. Hear from Israeli Consul General David Siegel about this amazing Israeli defense weapon, as well as the rest of the deepening conflict in the Middle East.

Thank God for the Iron Dome, but the game is ALWAYS changing. I suspect that the Iranians (and/or their Hezbollah proxies) who are supplying Hamas – now serving as Iran’s cannon fodder – with the new missiles, have tech reps with the missiles who try to observe the deployment tactics, and electronically monitor the Iron Dome radar and command and control communications with an eye towards degrading Iron Dome’s effectiveness in future operations especially against Hezbollah.
As it is now, Israel needs eight more batteries to cover the whole country. There are over 200,000 missiles facing Israel between Gaza and Hezbollah.
And: ““Iron Dome will be cut,” Randy Jennings, a former Congressional aide on defense issues and now a defense industry consultant, said at an event on Israel’s short-range rocket defense system held at The Heritage Foundation.”
“There will be no sacred cows…All the programs will be hit,” he said. http://www.jpost.com/Defense/Article.aspx?id=286420
Still. Thank God for Iron Dome.

And will continue to do so, as events unfold.
Roger, I really am sympathetic towards Israel but could you address the saber-rattling accusations being leveled aging Bibi? If these are true, it paints a different picture of this in my mind.
WE ARE ALL ‘VICTIMS OF THE PRESS’. BUT ESPECIALLY ISRAEL.
The MSM did very little reporting of Hamas launching 800-1000 missiles into Israel before the war. Therefore, when Israel struck back, it made it appear that Israel is the aggressor.
Consider the ignorant Whoopi. She’s just your average ‘Joe’ who gets her info from the MSM and thinks she actually knows something. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Hollywood/2012/11/20/whoopi-retweets-massacre-lie.

To ‘case fire’ or not – that IS the question. But it shouldn’t be!
