words i'll gladly eat ;)
i'm still convinced he started out this war a pu$$y, and was forced into this type of action by the IDF/Netanyahu. Better late than never I suppose
A lot of people probably thought George Bush was a weenie, too. Do you think he had to be forced into responding to September 11?
If you go back and read my posts, you will find that I have been predicting exactly what would happen. I even told posters why it was going to happen.
The problems with attacking any Guerrilla force is they can melt into the civilian population and uniformed troops are left at a terrible disadvantage. The IRAQI problem compounded. There is no way the Israel prime minister could not be aware of this huge problem.
The first question the Israelis had to answer was how do we separate the Hezbollah from the civilians. The first attempt was to issue warnings and drop fliers telling civilians to get out. When that didn't work they had to depend on Hezbollah being stupid enough to accuse Israel of killing innocent GASP civilians. Did it occur to you to ask why ISRAEL immediately took the BLAME FOR KILLING GASP civilians? The object was to first apologize and then give them two days to get the civilians out of Southern Lebanon.
Once that was done. It was just a matter of committing the troops and announcing the goal of taking and holding Southern Lebanon.
What I don't understand is how anyone could look at the scene unfolding and not figure it out. It was as plain as night and day.
jhp.. I take it you are still in the Dark.
