O'Rielly had a Stratfor guy on the other night and he said Israel would attack soon - he said Rice would also cancel her trip if so since going in after a ground war started it would do little good.

like that... hizbollah using US rockets/anti tank? Gee- thats tough. Which nation did they sell into? Was it a Pakistani gift package?
To: STFrancis
Any plan will work as long as the other guy plays within your rules.
Don't play by their rules, and you have a new game.
To: STFrancis
Israel should just annex the southern half of Lebanon and be done with it. Anyone who doesn't like it can have a quick meeting with a bullet.

There are two threads from a couple hours ago reporting massing of tanks at the border.

"which means it must move into the Bekaa Valley"Cleaning out this long-time terrorist's "rats nest" would be a good thing, provided their stealth, speed and ferocity stands them in good stead like it usually does.
It looks like their enemy is betting on their bogging down like we have so an insergency tactic will work just like in Iraq!!!
I think they are mis-judging the Isrealis again!!!

Many of the prognostications from Stratfor are as accurate as touts from a Track junkie. I don't put a whole lot of confidence in its analysis or predictions.

These are the days of precision-guided munitions, and I don't think fighting from bunkers is going to be a winning ploy. And Israel isn't going to occupy anything - we only occupied Iraq to establish a government and Lebanon already has one of those. It may even regain control of its own territory.
The IDF may well establish a buffer zone, or rather re-establish one, but the rockets the Iranians have given Hezbollah have too much range to make that a total solution. They have to address the problem at its source and that's what it looks like they're doing.
To: STFrancis
Wny not eclare whatever section of Lebanon needed as a buffer zone to be the new Israeli artillary training range? As the range of the weapon systems used increases, the artillary range grows.

Condi's upcoming trip (if I'm reading the tea leaves right) may not be the standard run-of-the-mill "let's look for a diplomatic solution that leads to a ceasefire." It may be more out-of-the-box than that, and involve leveraging the Arabs against the Persians (Iran). Hope so.

Iranian TOW missiles, I would imagine. The Iranians may have also acquired and repaired Stingers left over from the Afghan-Soviet war.
To: STFrancis
Hezbollah has implemented its strategy by turning southern Lebanon into a military stronghold, consisting of well-designed bunkers that serve both as fire bases and launch facilities for rockets.Bunker busters? Israel has some, one would think.
Stratfor is always interesting in reporting details of situations but not always correct in predicting outcomes. No source is always correct, as we've all learned since 9/11.

I would like to work for Stratfor. Write articles on tactics and geopolitical strategy all day long. It'd be like setting up your green army men and tanks.

The cuffs are now off.
