“I think Israel’s misadventure in Lebanon in 2006 make it clear that they aren’t as sharp as they used to be. Sad, but true.”
That war was run by liberal Ehud Olmert who f’ed things up. Netanyahu won’t make those mistakes.
Right..Netanyahu may also make mistakes but he’ll reap the results of an accomplished mission...and then apologize and take the heat after.
I’ve done this in the workplace...pressed up hard against “the rules” or guidlines but when I knew that just stepping over them a bit further would bring the results management wanted..I took the risk..management glad.. and I’d get a slap on the wrist only...that with a smile from them. The feat had been accomplished and desired results...
