constant invading and then pulling out waiting for a diplomatic solution

This happened a lot in the Korean war.

Maybe we can not put much more into thinking about why the delays and wishy-washy behavior, except to say you get who you elect. At the same time, I have to wonder about Syria and their bold moves which may have something to do with it.

IDF ordered to move up to Litani

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defense Minister Amir Peretz give green light to army to capture southern Lebanon territory stretching up to Litani River as US-French truce deal said 'very, very close'

Ynet reporters

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defense Minister Ehud Olmert on Friday gave the Israel Defense Forces the green light to widen operations in southern Lebanon and capture the territory situated south of the Litani River.

The decision comes members of the United Nations Security Council were said to be close to reaching an agreement on a truce deal brokered by France and the United States.

US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton said, "We are very close to an agreement."

Military officials said it is in Israel's interest to push forward with its military operation in order to achieve more military and strategic gains ahead of a ceasefire that could open the way for the deployment of an international force in southern Lebanon.


The defense establishment criticized Olmert and Peretz for delaying the operation for two weeks, an operation officers say will significantly weaken Hizbullah.

I would love to watch his torture on closed circuit prison cam. I'd pay for that, too.

Wonder which of the dems he's been cuddling up to over here...

Yes, all but the ultra-left in Israel have become ardent patriots and warmongers. It reminds me of the old Israel before the first Lebanon War in which there was a solid wall to wall consensus on Israel's defense. Those days have returned, for the better.

"Napalm" is obsolete but there is methodology for doing the job, but it is rather specialized. Shouldn't say more. They may have it and be using it, but they would be wise to keep quiet about it.

it would be an acceptable price to pay for a true "no-go zone." NO ONE--including the IDF goes there from that point on.

Then there's the question of intelligence gathering opportunities --- send in robots to collect it?

Where's that picture of Gillerman and Bolton? They are Israels' biggest protectors right now.

Make that Israel and the West, for our fates are very much intertwined.

"this happened a lot in the Korean war"

My Dad was there and he talks about advancing north in the day and retreating at night while the UN dickered around.
