I feel sorry for these pacifists who don't understand that warrior cultures don't respond to gandhi style pacifism.

The world will never be an either/or place. You suit your strategies for the people you have to deal with.

I want that emergency shipment of cluster bombs to get there already.

What good are cluster bombs against an enemy in tunnels?

Someone once commented that if Gandhi had been dealing with Nazis instead of British, things would have been a bit different.

For starters, nobody today would have ever heard of him.

OLMERT GIVING THE GO AHEAD TO LAUNCH MAJOR GROUND OFFENSIVE

If this is true, the order will soon be reversed. Olmert has given a "green" light before. With Olmert, such things are for show. We believed him in the past, over and over, and he always backed down. Why should anyone believe him now?

It seems clear that Olmert does not have the cahones to actually fight a war.

I pity the military that has to go to war with Olmert as the commander in chief.

It's not for them, it's for Syria.

They are showing on Fox, a road with double wide string of tanks...quite a few of them...but, Hemmer (clueless??) is saying that is not even close to what they need..

So...I would say that more are probably on the way...

I think he set his sights too low. He freaked out about the loss of life, and made it worse by dragging it out. Shock and Awe, overwhelming force is the way you win wars.

I think he was hoping if he could get the French and company in, he would get 2 and 3. Evidently someone was able to convince him he wouldn't (although I think he was hoping that they would up until today.)

Maybe he read the opinion polls finally...and saw how most Israelis would perceive it as a loss...or maybe one of the peaceniks he uses as an advisor had an epiphany...or had propery destroyed in one of the rocket attacks....

It's not for them, it's for Syria.

That's what I've been thinking. Especially if Syria thinks their ground forces with modern anti-tank missiles can stand up to Israeli tanks.

I doubt it. They have weighed heavily the price they will pay in the field, many losses will come... It's not an easy decision to move back into a place they were happy to be out of.
