I don't want to say that the IDF failed but rather hope that the IDF is not finished!

The job is half done, anyone can see that. And the jihadists will take that as a great victory if things stop now.

IMHO, it was their politicians who failed...by not letting the IDF do the job the way it must be done.
But it is not over.
This cease fire is not an end or stop. Hezbollah has not disarmed or given up the hostages they took. They have not been pacified. They have been bloodied but will view the cease-fire as a victory of sorts, and will tout it as such and attract more fools to theior cause so that a repeat will be forthcoming, probably in the not too distant future.
Hopefully then, the IDF will be allowed to conduct complete warfare, with extreme prejudice, against these terrorists and anyone who supports, harbors or abetts them. That is what it is going to take.

How do they know, it is not over? There are 30,000 idf soldiers in Lebanon waiting for Hezbullah to break the cease fire (which they will).

The IDF did not fail. It was the way the pathetic politicians used them that caused failure. Shame on those who think that their soldiers failed them.

Note to Israel: The IDF didn't fail. Your politicians and the people who voted them into office did.

IDF did not fail. How could they fail when they were not allowed to do the job.

Israel did act; and any outlaw regime or terrorist groups that puts Israel or the civilized world in danger must be confronted and Israel did that.

The IDF had four whole weeks to erase Hezbollah! There aren't any terrorists left in Iraq after only a few years of fighting, are there?
Most civilians nowadays expect wars to be done within the timeframe of a television miniseries. They're spoiled rotten!

The IDF did not fail. The military did exactly what they were ordered to do.

The IDF did not fail; the gutless, weasel politicians (UN, US, and Israeli) failed.

Why is it that when ever the politicians interfere and mess up, the troops get the blame?

A Globes-Smith survey published on Monday showed that the majority of Israelis (52 percent) believe the IDF was unsuccessful in its Lebanon offensive, as opposed to 44 percent who believe the army did well. That is because they fought a PC war with military targets instead of the kind of war you really win. (nation versus nation)
