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.

Agreed.

All a well fortified bunker complex makes you is an easy target. Bomb it till it stops shooting at you (HE or thermobaric) then stick a long hose (with a blow back valve of course) from a propane tank down a hole and fill'er up. CO2 works well too if you want to see what they had down there.

All these articles about 200 foot deep bunkers are funny. Did not do the talaban much good did it?

A bunker is a grave by another name. Fortifications were meant to channel an attack not as an end in itself, if the rag heads cannot maneuver off of the fortifications in strength, then all the Israelis have to do is isolate and eliminate.
