"War confounds the plans of mice and men.

Israel will fight on her own schedule and no one else's"

Unless the IDF calls up a lot more reserves than previously reported (i've heard as few as only 4 combat regiments have been deployed to the border), i do not see a push north of the line from Tyre east to Beit Jbail

I don't have a gun but I do have a pointy stick.

Unfortunately I live in NJ, if an intruders breaks into our homes we are suppose to attempt to run away prior to using deadly force, and than only after we warn them verbally of our intent to use deadly force.

"ya notice no shep on brits show so far."

Quite frankly, the less I see that guy, the better. Maybe Fox came to some sort of conclusion upon evaluating his non war zone reportiing.

It sounds that you have read Stratfor ;-)

Hey what can i say, i like their stuff ;)

By the way, what have you heard as far as reserve call ups. We can sit here and play armchair general all day, but the #s of men called up will determine the scope of any operation

no let up in rocket fire (approx 100 today), no anti-Hizbullah coalition of note being reported and definetly no sensible peace plan from UN/EU/Lebanon

This is a situation that probably would give Israel a go ahead to continue.

If for no other reason than the Europeans are beginning to get cold feet. Who would provide a peace-keeping force?

Britain - overstretched with troops in both Afghanistan and in Iraq; Germany - German soldiers in the Middle East on the border of Israel - NO WAY - and that is just the German reaction; France - could possibly deign to lead the operation but that's all; Spain, Italy, Portugal - have either been bloodied in Iraq or too small; Ireland - took part in the UNIFIL - NO; Holland - not likely after what happened in Srebrencie; Belgium - maybe; Denmark, Norway, Sweden - either taking part in Iraq or just not enough troops; Finland - maybe, but usually try to stay out of foreign adventures; and then you have Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and other Eastern European countries. Maybe, but the best, the Poles are fighting in Iraq.

I think the EU will have great difficulties to find soldiers for a peace-keeping force. And even the UN and EU dilpomats have said that such a force is a prerequisite for a cease-fire.

Sheps appearance on Brit's show confined to news (including California wildfires and EU trade negotiations) and a promo for his show at 7 (featuring the first interviews of Israeli troops back from the fighting..which I think he has already aired).

Reserves: nothing the last days, but according to this
http://www.cjp.org/content_display.html?ArticleID=189045

Israel's standing army of about 186,500 troops can jump to 631,500 with rapid mobilization, according to figures from the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies.

I used to live in Japan where you had to use "like force". If someone broke in and had a knife, you could only use a knife or lesser weapon.

After Florida finally made it OK to actually protect yourself in your own gosh darn home+, I made the leap.

I hope you have a really big fat pointy stick!

It is getting late, my tyoing is getting worse than ever, and maybe my reasoning too.

Time to hit the sack. Just noted thought that Fitzcarraldo posted a new post with the latest martyrs. Again mostly men in their 30s or early 40s. Only one in his twenties. I think that's significant. Losing their most experienced men.

Anyway, keep fightnig the good fight.

Prayers for the soldoers in the IDF.

remember, they are logical but not what we would call rational.

Remember, the most terrifying thing about the Soviets and the Nazis was that they were logical and rational, but they just had different base assumptions. You maybe right, but it seems with all this posing that there are bigger things in play than a few conventional rockets.
