Ceasefire Now! (sarcasm, sort of)
Israel Insider ^ | August 10, 2006 | Reuven Koret

Israel should immediately lay down its arms and march back to the border. It need not even wait for the United Nations to pass a resolution. The result will be the same, only faster, if Israel's forces withdraw unilaterally, in one night, as we did in May 2000. Why wait an extra day, to be sitting ducks in enemy territory, to lose soldiers, for nothing?

As they did then, Hezbollah may shoot at us as we run away, or claim the vehicles, weapons, equipment, and tefilin bags our soldiers leave behind in their haste to flee back behind the border. As we did in 2000, we will run back home in the middle of the night.

In broad daylight, they will celebrate on our abandoned tanks, give exultant victory speeches in their villages. The world's media will show it all, the wanton destruction we wreacked, for nothing. They will show the human suffering we inflicted, for nothing. And the media will speak about how the great Israeli Defense Forces have been defeated by a few thousand terrorists and guerillas. And our soldiers who lost their lives, or were maimed for life, and their loving families, will have lost the light in their worlds -- for nothing.

Semi-sarcastic view of the stupidity of a ceasefire....

Exactly. If Olmert and Peretz have already decided to abandon the field, why leave Israeli soldiers out there to pay the price for their folly? This war was mismanaged from the top and a through house-cleaning needs to begin there.

I read the article on its original source. As the author said in his much longer editorial, "we are led by losers". This was not the only negative commentary written by an Israel Insider staff member. There was another by David Wilder that was gut wrenching. The talk back letters were revealing. Many Israelis are angry and in despair over their feelings about failed leadership. Just my gut reaction, but it may be time for Bibi to return to lead Israel again.

Thanks, I will read that, my only hope is that somehow there is deeeeep strategery going on here. But, if not I would very much like to see Bibi come in and kick butt.
