The first thing I would do it give the military 2 orders:
Stop the rockets
Do whatever it takes to prevent them from being launched again
Then I would tell the State Dept to tell Mexico that if they can't prevent this from happening again, we will.

Im sorry Im crapping over your stupid scenario, that will never happen because its a completely stupid scenario, thus making it no point in relating it to an actual real word scenario.
If it's a completely stupid scenario why even respond? Son, there are topics that I'll agree with Fitbud and disagree with Okla, then there are topics where I'll agree with Okla and disagree with Fitbud... And every time I'll be respectful.
Open up a dictionary and find the definition to HYPOTHETICAL. The point of this is regarding Israel and how they respond to Hamas. For f*cks sake, even I said this was illogical and never going to happen.
Smoke a joint sometime. Not every topic needs be vehemently debated when it's a simple, but yet ILLOGICAL, hypothetical.
Hypothetical from merriam-webster: involving or based on a suggested idea or theory : involving or based on a hypothesis
Hypothesis: Is the explanation for something has occured
Thus based on the definition of hyptohetical/hypothesis (which along with theory is a word that gets abused alot), you scenario isnt one, because it would never happen.
And your right not every topic needs to be debated, yet you choose to start a threat that involved an asinine scenario that would never happen in order to draw parallels to Israels war with Hamas.
How about this for a hypothetical situation: A terroist organization much like Hamas sends 19 operatives to attack America, how would we react? OH WAIT! It already happened and we know how we would react if we were attacked! Another reason why there was no point in debating this stupid scenario.

Amidst all of the arguing about realistic hypothetical situations, seems like we can
agree that the American response to 9/11 is basically the same as what Israel is doing now.

Therefore, Israel HAS EVERY RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Hence the point of my scenario. It had nothing to do with cartels firing rockets at our border towns. And that's why you're a retard for over-thinking the entire point of the thread.

RE: Hypothetical
That's funny because sometimes I come up with hypothetical scenarios that just drives my wife crazy. The one I like is when I ask her what will we do if we win the lottery. One answer she gives me is I'll find a younger, handsomer husband with my half. That always cracks me up.
Because I think she's kidding. LOL

Save yourself some grief, only put one name on the ticket. ITS community property anyway. When she says that, you say "Over my dead body", if she replies "that could be arranged", time to rethink.......
Hypothetically speaking that is...

I never overthought it. I just thought the whole point of this thread was stupid. Also, we wouldnt attack back. We would do the same thing we did after 9/11, demand the country that they reside in to turn them over, except in this case with Mexico being a major partner of ours, theyd play ball.

We can resolve that attempted deflection quite easily with a different and believable scenario.
We round up 20 million illegals and send them back to Mexico. The Mexican government can't handle them, and Mexico turns into anarchy. Into the resulting void steps al-Qaeda, and it's al-Qaeda instead of drug lords who are sending in the rockets.
Now what do you do?
Thats an even more absurd scenario. How could a radical islamic terroist group (which cant even control an islamic country anymore) take control over the 11th largest country population wise that over 90% christian thats on the other side of the world.
Theres no point in playing the what if game, when the scenario is a joke.
Al qaeda isnt taking over Mexico, and the cartels arent going to mess with their profits by picking a fight they know they cant win.
Who said anything about their taking control? They don't have to take control for this situation to occur. All that has to happen is for whoever is supposed to be in control to lose control. Come to think of it, in Mexico that is already dangerously close to being the case, even without shipping 20 million illegals back.
