Perhaps, they are CLEARING THE AREA, they don't want to be so close to "GROUND ZERO??????"

That actually occurred to me too!

Yeah, they need to start using MOAB's, air-fuel bombs in the Hizzie Operational Theatre...

Those weapons suck the Oxygen out of the ground (tunnels) and severly THWACK the area...leaving nothing for the LAME STREAM MEDIA to take pictures off...much more simpler to assure the area is CLEAN!

1. This isn't a ball game, where we can vilify the coach and root for our guys and grouse about poor execution of plays. It is war, which means life and death. We don't have the intelligence that the Israeli government has. What if it has been discovered that the Hezbollah had a plan to detonate a nuclear bomb where all of the troops were? What if they are going home to defend the country from an invasion from the south? Meanwhile we hear of impending air attacks. WE JUST DON'T KNOW.

2. In the spirit of not knowing, I suggest vilifying Omert and his government is not only non-productive, but counter-productive. Until the Israeli government falls, he is in charge. And since he is the elected leader of Israel, undermining him is just as bad for us to do as we felt about Chirac's actions towards President Bush.

3. God is in control. Prayers for Israel and for all of the people in that region would be the most effective thing we can do right now.

4. The nut case in Iran probably has planned something for Israel, and perhaps this withdrawal will allow better strategy to defend against it.

5. Finally, I want to again emphasize that we don't really know what's happening. WERE those troops marching back into Israel? Or is that just what was said? Slumped shoulders can simply mean exhaustion, not demoralization. I refer you folks to the many photos from WOrld War II.

Please, everyone, try to be optimistic and non-critical until we know the whole story.

Thanks!
