I find it that Israeli spokesmen are calling this a "limited ground operation." It would be better if they staged an unlimited operation to destroy Hezbollah. Nothing truly great is achieved by moderation, and terrorists are like cockroaches: if you see one there are probably more, and even one is too many.

Israelis will change direction in mid course if success is quick. They are going in gingerly because of all the roadside IED bombs, anti tank rockets, ambushes and other surprises that await them. Slow way is the best to liquidate Hizbullah fighters and their weapons (rockets. missile) caches.

On TV was said Israeli combat engineers are hard at work eliminating IEDs

Well, if the IDF still knows what it is doing, more power to those folks! I'm just hoping they don't get shackled by "political correctness," like what has happened to our own armed forces.

Victory will not come from liquidating the Hezbullah fighters. Their women will just breed more

Victory will not come from destroying their caches. Their suppliers will just send more

Victory will come when they get serious about killing the financial backers of Hezbullah, or otherwise convincing them that financing Jihad groups is a really bad idea.

Jihad groups will dry up and blow away if they have no financing, and their fighters have to actually get real jobs to feed themselves
