GO Israel!!
???
LOL
Okay, just stop posting. Nobody, NOBODY needs thirty freaking days to recon the terrain involved. No, had the Israeli military been allowed to carry this thing out properly the MSM would already be back on Iraq. Cuz this thing would've been long over.
Why the hell would Israel need to feint anything?
Intelligence gathering, which was clearly lacking when the war began. If you factor in the shooting down of the drone last week, and Hezbollahs inability to hit Isreal beyond Haifa, you would understand that Lebanon is ready to accept almost any terms for cease fire if they can get Israel to leave.
They cannot resupply while Israel sits at the borders, and Hezbollah never had C&C to begin with, beyond a cell phone to Iran. You will have to just watch what happens in the next few days.
This'll make Pat Buchanan very sad. Pity. Go IDF, go!!!!
I think this was the UN's greatest stroke of genius. All the grown-up children who collected for Unicef can't admit to themselves that the UN is a failed institution ("Damn, we gave up all that candy for nothing?").
It's my impression that it is Condi who is running the distraction maneuver.
Her job is to keep everybody talking, thinking they're making progress, but short of agreement, while the IDF is kicking butt.
I hope you are right. If yes, then I am very pleased.
Color us on the same page.
Apparently, it is otherwise.
Well, there goes the neighborhood.
Rrrrright. ~Grin~
Man would you give it up? They were not friggin gathering intelligence. They new what they were up against. The overwhelmingly incompetent strategy set forth by Olmert and his hand wringing clique is what determined the silly tactics on the ground. Had the original plan been green lighted there would've been no need for any of that nonsense. They would've landed above the Litani and pushed east to the Syrian border. Completely cutting off the Terrorists. Instead your boys went with the hey diddle diddle, tip toe up the middle silliness and we have what we have today.
"You will just have to watch what happens in the next few days"
Gee, thanks. I did.
Way too many dead Israelis. A victory for Hezbollah [BOTTOMLINE]. They are still there. They will be resupplied and the UN and Lebanese military will be there in overwhelming numbers to protect them. Kudos to your boy's brilliant plan.
