Why is the press so irresponsible as to publish military information? It's nobody's business to know where Israel deploys their anti-ballistic missile batteries or any other related information.

Everyone knows that they are deployed against Syrian SCUD's...

Yes, US-made Patriots may provide Israel with a temporary balm, but they are no panacea. Just like David fell the mighty Goliath with a stone, so will Israel be felled by the crude instruments of the latter-day Davids.

I hope they will be deploying the anti-artillery\rocket high energy laser system they have been developing with the US, as these are a full answer to Hizbullah rockets. Check it out, seems very promising: http://www.globalsecurity.org/space/systems/thel.htm

They should have been in full place 3 days ago.!!! What took so long??

PROMOTE JEWISH BIRTHS. ENCOURAGE JEWISH MIGRATION TO GAZA AND THE WEST BANK. GIVE A TEN YEAR TAX BREAK TO JEWS MOVING OR LIVING THERE. THE pals MORALLY & EHTICALLY DEGRADE US TO THE EXTENT THAT ISRAEL WILL DEVOLVE INTO A MORAL DECLINE AND BECOME A THIRD WORLD NATION. KICK THEM OUT. THEY WILL NEVER BE CIVILIZED, NOR GIVE US PEACE. AND THE COST OF CONFLICT INCREASES OUR NATIONAL ECONOMIC COSTS AND PREVENT WIDE SPREAD PROSPERITY.

Hezbullah has missles can hit Negave and sotheren parts of the occupied Israel and can carry 600 KG of explosive.

You sound like one of those islamic fundamentalists...? The patriots have proven to be VERY effective against g to g missles. They are fully aware that Hisbullies will use other tactics. duh... Why dont you come fight with them...see how effective they are..

Israel is not occupied, the land belongs to the Jewish people.

I guess you don't read the bible, you would know who wins.

It is with great sadness that I agree with driving the vermin into the sea. The only downside would be the environmental catastrophe experienced by the bloated and inedible corpses...

#3 Why are they only a temporary balm?

Hey Chu Li - David was Jewish, one reason he killed Goliath with one stone was because he had the blessing of God on his life and Goliath and the other "Palestinians" of his day were mocking the God of Isreal - and by the way if you really want to see how all of this is going to end - read the Book of Revelation

Remember one thing...In a battle of Good vs Evil, the good shall prevail. In this case, Israel has the asset of Divine Intervention on their side. Hezbollah shall be flattened, and the world shall be safer.

Hey Confused Chu Lie Tsui of Hong Kong, he say... “Just like David fell the mighty Goliath with a stone, so will Israel be felled by the crude instruments of the latter-day Davids.” Oh sure dim sung, 400 millions Arabs, 1.2 Billion Muslims Versus SIX Million Israelis And it’s the Jews who are Goliath. Yeah, you really know your Bible alright. What happened? The IQ of the colony drop 50 points once the Brits left?

Mr Tsui in Hong Kong. You have it reversed. THE GOD OF ABRAHAM AND JACOB is directing HIS people, Israel. GOD grant them total victory. You are in my prayers. THE true GOD grant israel victory. Lawrence

Just as in the first Gulf War, the deployment of 3 PATRIOT missile batteries (standard anti-ballistic missile 'footprint' defense) is as symbolic in nature as it is anything. You can't hide 3 patriot batteries, so why not use the press to get the story out. It calms the citizens, hey the govt. is doing something, and serves to dissuade attack by Syrian scuds... By the way, a Patriot radar can't 'see' in more than one direction so you either defend against an ABM attack from the north or the east... but not both... so they aren't deployed to prevent attacks from Iran. ~former US Patriot missile officer

By and large, the "old media" i.e. the big 3 networks and major newspapers like the New York Times and Washington Post, are dominated by godless socialists who support the side of the evil.

You Said-->"Yes, US-made Patriots may provide Israel with a temporary balm, but they are no panacea. Just like David fell the mighty Goliath with a stone, so will Israel be felled by the crude instruments of the latter-day David's." Another ignorant blind person...who is David?? Who is Goliath?? 200million+ Muslims surround a country that they swear to "wipe of the map"?? 6 million Jews in Israel.....please sir....Israel is David..and those meaning to annihilate her are goliath, but fortunately Israel is Gods people, and who can defeat God??......Muslims...NO. Poor Syria, and Iran are in for a rude awakening.

Israel has held back long enough. They have conceded territory, worked with all groups promoting peace yet the religion of peace continues to plan the anilihation of Israel and all western culture. It is now time to drive the vermin Islamists back into their caves.

You are foolish to believe this. Israel has a very long history of survival, despite all its enemies. Patriots as you say may provide a "temporary balm", but the intelligence and superiority of the Israeli army, coupled with a modern, democratic Israeli government, will far surpass the Arab tyranny that we have seen unleased. Terrorism will not win, not in the United States, and certainly NOT in Israel. Wake UP!!!!!

If this is about arms, then take into account that it was David who was better armed with the catapult. If this is about size then everyone knows that not only do the Arabs have more land, but a far higher population to boot. Thus Israel is David again.

Good one Chu Li, Israel defeated by the Arabs... If your concept was half way realistic it would have already happened, since the Arabs have been taking that approach for years. Don't let history get in the way of a moronic opinion though. If you are going to use Bible stories and history as an example then try reading Revelations. It tells what happens to the united Arab countries that will attack Israel. It also tells about what happens to your dragon from the East.

Because they were trained by the USA Democratic Party which is worse than the terrorist themselves!

Israel will never be felled by the Muslims who are causing the world attention, death, destruction of their own women and children! When the world finally see's what Islam really is, Islam will be once again defeated! Israel has Tactical Nuclear Weapons and when push comes that the mighty latterday Davids start to win, kiss IRAN, SYRIA and anyone else who tries!

Showing of Isalie Postions. Is wrong. However how can they show The other sides postion. They won't as they would be shot on the spot.

Is is possible that Israel is trying to "push" Iran into taking some deliberate military action against them? Just think...this would provide the "excuse" needed for Israel (and the USA as well!) to finally eliminate the potential nuclear threat that the Iran has become under its' current leadership.

Think aging China Boy. If needed the good old USMC will teach your friends a lesson. Rember the Chosin Reservoir. I think you might USMC
