I'm shocked... Just shocked. After several weeks of intense bombardment, only 600 of these scum were killed? That's it??? I would have expected thousands... Wow

There was only 2,000 to begin with and you don't know the number of those wounded or maimed. This MSM reporting is just like right after 7/7 when the death toll was stated at around 10. Ended up being over 50 with a few hundred injured.

At any rate, an Army that suffers a 30 % casualty rate in the field of battle is either going to retreat, ask for a cease fire or stand and fight to the last. At least those amongst the living 70 % that are still mostly functional. If the Israelis had 15,000 in Southern Lebanon and lost 126, that is a casualty rate less then 1 %.
