supposed waffling? so far, they have waffled regarding the ground comittment - that's a fact.

No it isn't, its just what has been reported, along with alleged internal squabbling between Olmert and defense officials; something that normally you would NEVER hear about in public.

The Israelis feinted, watched the movements, advanced and watched again, retreated and watched again. Now, they know exactly what the Hezbos do in each event, as they do not have active Command and Control. They have standing orders.

Now, Israel can confidently cut them to ribbons. They know where they hide. If civilians are among them, they will be swiss cheese too. They have had their warnings. France and Russia will scream bloody murder, but who cares?

Yes,I did notice. From the outset, Israel's war plan hinged on executing rope-a-dope with Hezbollah. Israel is fighting for its existance here. They will not stop until they are victorious.

I'm guessing GWB has told Israel he can only hold off the "United Nothings" for only another 3 or 4 days.

Or they'll what?

they are hiding inside concrete bunkers and basements inside these towns. I agree, they don't have much of a military strategy - they are there, they are ready to die, and when the tanks and APCs come down the street - they engage.

when you go in without overwhelming force - a guerilla force like this can pick you off - the IDF has lost 30 tanks.

"I'm guessing this terror disruption has given him the political capital to take out his own terrorist enemies and squash the diplomatic charade. What irony if al-Qaeda ends up spelling doom for Hezbollah!"

Well said. I hope so!

If you believe that, can I sell you some Pukin-brand gummy bears?

Concrete bunkers can be busted. Cluster bombs can be dropped. This last 30 days has been nothing but battlefield intel gathering.

Pat Robertson visited with Olmert this week and stated Olmert is proving to be one hell & tough war commander. Since it's been said a lot here at FR, he's just a political type without any war experience. Pat said it's just the opposite...Olmert will do what it takes to take out this terrorist group.

Good week in WOT

1) Ned Lamont wins (Showing voter that dems are weak on WOT)

2) British & US intelligence nab would-be bombers (Using NSA and Swift monitoring to the chagrin of NYTs)

3) Israel is now agressively going after the Hezbos

I would like to add 2 if I may:

4) Al-Reuters and others exposed for doctored & staged photos.

5) The release of the film World Trade Center.

""Condi Rice and Kofi Anan are still in conference..."

Please, please, please! Can we stop sitting down to talk with this man, this body (the UN). The UN is not and can never be up to the challenge of establishing a peaceful settlement in the Mid-East, or anywhere else. They are good for providing humanitary aid to...
"
As someone up this page suggested, thes UN Condi-Kafi tea and crumpets is just the Greek Chorus giving time and a musical background for the IDF TO GO IN AND CLEAN HOUSE (Lebanon, that is)!

Anyhow, Godspeed to the IDF!

If that's the case, it's not because it is Anan that is interested in assisting Israel with its Hezbollah problem.

No, the retreat was not a headfake.

Olmert is a limpwrsited Liberal. The IDF gave him the plans to eliminate Hezzbollah inside of two weeks. Instead Olmert Vacillated and went with a plan neither fish nor fowl [common liberal response; doomed to failure].

The White House gave him every chance to drop the hammer, instead he wrung his hands.

Finally the pressure on America to find a diplomatic solution was getting too strong. So we told him to hold off while we tried to torpedo the diplomatic process one more time...if the news this morning is correct, the Lebanese would not sign off to the plan [placing their heads in the noose]...thus giving America political cover for the diplomatic route failing and Olmert a second chance to do what he should've done from jump street...and in the process save his own political life.

If the Israelis do finally attack full bore, watch for the "Testicle Free Zone" Eurowheenies to scream bloody murder...and watch further for Olmert to snatch defeat out of the hands of victory.

We'll see...

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

"The Israelis feinted, watched the movements, advanced and watched again, retreated and watched again."

Brother please.

LOL

This is the IDF against a grip of idiots with halfwitted chest thumping and some military training not a legitimate, potent force with combined arms capabilities. Geez man, they have no air or sea and their C&C was down in zero hour plus 1.

Why the hell would Israel need to feint anything? That is like saying Mike Tyson's plan was to run up on PeeWee Herman and dance around alot, occasionaly throwing a straight jab until he could discern PeeWee's plan.

If the Israelis chose to this thing would've been over inside of a week or two. Instead the Liberal leadership waffled.

There is no deep story here. Just the same song different circumstances.

When cowards call the shots this is what you get.
