This is starting to sound like what we did in Afghanistan. Remember how our planes pounded the Taliban for five weeks, and the media started calling the war a "quagmire," acting like a bunch of kids on a trip who can't stop asking, "Are we there yet?" And then the Taliban collapsed, and the Northern Alliance started taking every major city in a matter of days. One week after Kabul fell, only Kandahar was left to the enemy, and we took that in the following month. If Israel can follow that schedule, the IDF should be in Beirut before the end of September.

Wholeheartedly agree! And Beirut is just a car ride away, so I hope the embedded "journalists" went to the bathroom before they roll out. :'D

Yea, warfare is a lot different with dealing with dug in terrorists that use civilians as shields.
