The only thing up is omelletes time as head of this suicidal government...
This has been an awful week for Israeli citizens, this will be look back on as a turning point (good or bad) ?????

This article is sure to put Olmert out of business since the last of the hopes are dashed that the Hezbos would be disarmed. It takes away every little reason Israel went to war.

Something else is up. Maybe something bigger.I've seen this sentiment expressed many times on similar threads. As much as I wish it were true, I believe it is time to accept the fact that we are witnessing an Israeli defeat. Pure and simple.
God willing, things will be different the next time, but this one is in the books.

Like I said, unless on verge of a political defeat the coward won't resume the war no matter what happens to his own citizens.
A political defeat isn't out of the question, but it's not yet imminent.

Major Terror plot is thwarted in Britain (Iran), Syria masses on Israeli border(Iran), The Moo of Iran is to give some kind of announcement Tuesday. It looks like to me Iran is in neck deep in all of this. Maybe the Israelis were alerted to something big coming?

Its no accident that the French will lead the multinational force going to Lebanon.
Whats happened to Israel? Have they lost their minds in the government? They are on the road to a major disaster.

The Moo of Iran is to give some kind of announcement Tuesday The Moo of Iran talks his crap every day. The day he doesn't make threats is when I would start to worry.

"Something else is up. Maybe something bigger."
This is also my guess... hope, maybe a showdown with Iran!
Israel seems too willing to give up this fight. Thre may be bigger fish to fry soon.
Hezbollah is nothing without Iran/Syria.

This is the Munich agreement. I read a wonderful book about Churchill's experiences in the 30's and I got the exact same enraged feeling of frustration and injustice that I'm getting right now. We're watching the appeasement process all over again.

"Something else is up. Maybe something bigger."
What I'm hoping happened is that some time in the 4th week of the conflict... Israeli military strategists realized that Syria was the real target to strike and worth the extra risk. However, I have reasons to believe that is not the case, I think Israel just needs alternative leadership NOW.

Not one thing!

I just saw newt gingrich on Oreilly and when he was asked by Orielly why Israel stopped fighting newt looked like he was going to throw up (look totally dejected).
I am sure others in the US are stunned at Israel "tiredness" in fighting....
To: keat
...we are witnessing an Israeli defeat... If so, they defeated themselves. Very depressing.

Maybe Israel is working the PR side. Cease fire....Israel honors it....the Hezzies break it....then Israel continues with a big "I TOLD YOU SO"
