Olmert won't be in power much longer. I'm not saying it will happen immediately. But Nasrallah and other Hb leaders are public figures. Unless they want to go UBL style and disappear for five years, there will be opportunities and they will be acted on.

Don't forget, Nasrallah took over Hezbollah after Israel took out the previous leader Mussawi

I agree. Iran (via Hez.) wants war. Nasrallah is a puppet.

Now that this appears to be all over, can you elaborate a little bit more on what it was you had mapped out?

What did you think the grand plan was?

You've been hinting the past few weeks but what did you think the end game was?

A drive on Damascus? Baalbek? Both? What was the plan and how did Condi ruin it?

All is not lost.

It won't be long before all hell breaks loose again.

All the land that Israel is covering becomes the responsibility of the peacekeeping forces. Enough said.

I heard Loftus and Batchelor. I still think the fat lady hasn't sung yet...... more to come, or as Drudge puts it:

..... developing.

Captain Ed over at the Captain's Quarters notes this, and it's worth thinking about:

Everything hinges on Nasrallah. If he accepts the terms and allows Siniora to dislodge them from southern Lebanon, Hezbollah is finished regardless of their public claims. Their raison d'etre is the defense of the southern border against Israel -- and if the Lebanese Army takes that responsibility, then their militia serves no purpose in the middle of Lebanon. If Nasrallah balks, then Israel will have a green light and a wide window to finish the job, and they will have lost very little in the hours it will take for the gambit to play to its conclusion.

Lebanon, Israel, exchange sharp words at U-N

August 11, 2006 7:45 PM

The Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS U-N Secretary-General Kofi Annan says he plans to meet Lebanese and Israeli officials as soon as possible to determine the exact date of a cease-fire.

The Security Council unanimously passed a resolution calling for a cease-fire, but that hasn't stopped Israel from continuing to go after Hezbollah for now.

Representatives of Israel and Lebanon exchanged sharp words before the Council. The acting Lebanese foreign minister, Tarek Mitri, accuses Israel of inflicting a "strategy of terror" against all Lebanese and calls Israel's actions "nothing short of criminal."

The Israeli U-N ambassador, Dan Gillerman, told the Council that his country had no choice but to -- quote -- "do what Lebanon has failed to."

He avoided saying Olmert, intentionally (I think) just said Israel. IMHO Olmert sees the writing on the wall and knows he has to fight and be tougher on the Hezzis or it is find a new job.
