So we're up to *three* football fields now? It was two last time. Will it be four on the next round? Since you're so jiggy with the effective radius, what's the CEP on one of these delivered from an F-16?

And for comparison, a typical Hezbollah rocket?

(Hint, the first is measured in meters, the second in kilometers)

The actual number is more like 5%. Where are you getting your numbers?

Because there have been complaints thet they've been misused....not exactly surprising.

And who will investigate what Hezbollah has been doing? Oh...that's right...
