not good. if there is no ground assault, hezbollah will just move right back up to the border. they have 11000 rockets, 900 have been used, figure the same number destroyed. they still have plenty of assets there.
Did you happen to see Col. Ralph Peters on Bill O'Reilly tonight???
I just saw him..and he said that Israel has made a lot of mistakes..and the worst one is not hitting Hezbollah harder in a surprise attack at the beginning..in air and by land.
AND, he took a shot at Weasley Clark..by saying "With all respect to Gen. Clark, an AIR WAR just doesn't cut it..and talking won't do any good."...
He says that Israel, by not hitting them hard, and pausing, has lost the advantage..and even though Israel could take down Syria easily....Hezbollah is a different matter.
Now...having posted what Peters said...I think I remember hearing that the Hezzies had buried thousands of mines along the border....and so any ground forces would be slaughtered...
I don't know how ya'll on this thread feel about Ralph Peters' expertise...I just posted what he said...and I certainly am NOT qualified to agree or disagree.
