This guy thought he "won" by diplomacy, too.

I'll believe it when I see it
Hizbullah is full of BS
Lying sacks of crap - all of them. Israel should not accept this phony "cessation of hostilities".
...Hizbullah's Al-Manar TV, which continues to broadcast despite repeated IAF attack on its studios and transmitters, declared "victory" over the weekend, saying that the IDF had failed to score military achievements.The broadcasts are being aired under the banner of: "We won!"; "We have defeated the invincible army"; and "July-August 2006 - the shattering of the myth [of the mighty Israeli army]." The station has also been airing video clips showing thousands of Lebanese hoisting Lebanese flags and chanting slogans in support of Hizbullah.
Like several other Arab television stations, Al-Manar has been repeatedly reminding viewers that this was the second "defeat" for Israel, coming after the IDF's May 2000 withdrawal from Lebanon.
Arab commentators and journalists were almost unanimous in saying that Hizbullah had won the war. Most of them pointed out the heavy casualties that Israel has suffered, as well as the destruction of a large number of Merkava tanks and the firing of rockets at many Israeli towns and cities.
Of course Olmert is showing them wrong and invading now...four weeks late and after the UN vote!
(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em Down Hezbullies.)
Wars are nation against nation, not terrorist hitting everything and the other side only hitting military targets.
There is no fear or pain placed on the terrorist if you don't try and hit their host.
No war can be won in a PC fashion.
Hizbullshite
Olmert sealed his fate. He's done. It's Bibi time.
The sooner the better.
She has done her part in the dance of diplomacy. Rest assure that her guns will not rust.
that is, rest assured that her guns will not rust.
You cannot defeat terrorists purely by military means. It is not like fighting an army.
Israel should have been stating this from the start. Containment should have been the stated goal.
I've been reading about it for weeks, others discussed it here to.
Apparently...Israel had a plan but Olmert shelved it because he was concerned about reoccupation and casualties. So he opted for air war and small, useless incursions into the border towns...the best prepared areas for Hezb.
Now he's invading in force after he's given Hezb. an undeserved moral victory. In his mind he thinks he won by "diplomacy." Or something like that.
Yes.... IT'S BIBI TIME!
Israel needs a clear victory in her fight against those barbaric thugs. Pound them till they cry for Mama!
(Nasrallah described the decision to dispatch Lebanese soldiers to the south of the country as an "achievement" for Hizbullah and Lebanon)
If it's such an achievement for Hizbollah, why did they prevent the Lebanese army from taking over the south of Lebanon for all those years? BS Alert!
We won! We won! We forced our nation's soldiers to take over our territory!
The Hezbo's were looking for a way out anyway, of course they'll accept this deal (for awhile).
"Olmert sealed his fate. He's done. It's Bibi time."
Amen to that!!!
This guy thought he "won" by diplomacy, too.
NO CEASE FIRE TILL THE SOLDIERS ARE BACK IN ISRAEL UNHARMED. END OF STORY.
