UT makes that point, the tactic is: throw around a bunch of wild accusations, posted as widely as possible, supported by "evidence" that examined closely would convince only the choir you're preaching to, and hope something sticks long enough to achieve your propaganda objective. Accuse anybody who questions it of being a "zionist", a "zionist dupe" or a "racist".

MaggieL constantly tries to minimize the effect of the cluster bombs as if they're candy thrown to the children. The only tactic throwing here were the cluster bombs in the last 3 days of the 33 days war. Cluster bombs are the last resort if nothing else helps without boots on the ground. Compare it with you're tired of chasing the mosquito and fill the whole room with anti mosquito spray. Very bad for whatever else lives there, but it might kill the mosquito.

Accuse anybody who questions it of being a "zionist", a "zionist dupe" or a "racist".

And here we go again, the Zionist card is drawn again, if nothing else helps. I am waiting for the ultimate "anti-semitic" ace to be thrown on the table. That always seems to work for MaggieL.

If it was according MaggieL, all these pinkocommielibs should s.t.f.u. about these cute little bomblets and let the IDF do their work. Let's complain about are these nasty ka-ty-usha's. These are the real killers.

A trained military doesn't waste valuable munitions "out of frustration". Soldiers are trained to shoot but also trained to always know how many rounds are left. Whatever they did was a tactic.

You keep living in your ideal world, UT, where only trained military don't waste their ammunition. In the real world the frustration ran high in the IDF because Olmert and Peretz refused to extend the ground invasion and, according to brigade commanders, the lack of movement put the forces on the defensive and gave the upper hand to Hizbullah fighters. Read any Israelian online paper and you'll read the frustration of the military.
