If it stops now, the Hezbies in southern Lebanon are all wound up with no place to go.

Who will they revenge on?

I have no seen reports of what actual conditions are there.. I'd imagine basic services are off line.

Food - water - electricity - sanitation (working toilets)

Comm would also go down, if they cannot recharge satellite phones. I believe it is the Hezzies who are in check here.

" I think we're going to see signs of harsh words between Bush and Condi. "

The media is making it seem as Sec of State Rice had a quasi breakdown upon learning of the Qana news.
" Clearly shaken " is how Andrea Mitchell put it.
I recall another outlet describing her as " quivering with rage."
Either Dr. Rice is not up to the job ( which I hope not ) or the media is trying to make her seem weak and wimpy-fearful of a challenge to Hillary .

Hey, I said IF they were smart. I'm not counting on it. But if I were Nasarallah i'd have everyone stand down melt into the southern lebanon back ground and play this game another day. There will be plenty of time for revenge later, this has been going on since 48' after all.

Don't worry about the hitting things hopefully wall. It seems to me guys in that age range hit walls especially over girls. I have two dents in walls-this too shall pass. Promise.

We are all assuming that the lull will give the Hezzies time to rearm...

Do we know if trucks can still get into south Lebanon? CAN they rearm?

I ask because my first thought at hearing about the "lull" was that the IDF will be watching (filming?) every move the Hezzies make. Of course, I have this tendency to believe satellites and drones can work miracles...cover an entire area with full time video monitoring. (I.e., I thought satellite images would solve the D.C. sniper case).

Maybe I'm naive, but why can't modern armies monitor ALL movement within a space as small as south Lebanon?
