"NABATIYEH, Lebanon The United States has given Israeli forces between 10 and 14 days to finish dealing Hezbollah a strategic blow, a senior Israeli Foreign Ministry official told FOX News, as both Israeli forces and Hezbollah guerrillas continued to volley rockets across the Lebanon-Israel border."
Now, for all our tough talk, it would seem to me that an "anti-terror," "On the hunt," "War on Terror" country would be giving the TERRORISTS deadlines to stop firing missiles at Israel. But, sadly, the only question that will come up at this Rome conference is how to stop Israel from defending itself from terror attacks.
We've also heard how "we can't have a deadline in Iraq because the terrorists would just wait us out." That will not apply, however, to the situation between Israel and Hezbollah.
Saying 14 days is as illogical as the US giving a withdrawal deadline to the Iraqi insurgents.
The IDF should stay in Lebanon until their mission is complete and not leave a day earlier.
If our state deptmt is truly supporting this, then they support for Israel what they reject for the US.
