Weakest Link
We have all heard the old saying a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. A wonderful saying to challenge kids playing sports to push themselves as hard as they can and then some more to push to new levels in their individual performance.
But what can a people do when this old saying comes to visit a nation at war and the weakest link is the very people we have elected to represent us in government?
Between phone calls to friends that are wearing the uniform and still in the fight to the latest “war” song making the rounds in the IDF, I see an army that is stronger than it has ever been.
The IDF, if turned loose can win this war in short order, and save the world.
Save the world?
Yes save the world, this war started on July 12th after head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani on the way back from Europe stopped in Syria to turn his junk yard dog Nasrallah loose on Israel.
The mission of the attack at the order of Iran and the backing of Syria by Hizballah was four fold.
First was to see if Israel would just take the kidnapping of our soldiers and maybe a day or two of rocket fire, when Israel passed this test and struck back the goals changed due to Israel’s response. In other words Israel has not totally lost the will to fight back, so now the mission becomes more long term and more dangerous to the well being of Israel and the west.
Second in the short term the purpose is to take the worlds attention away from the nuclear weapons program of Iran.
Third is to get a clear reading on the courage and wisdom of both the leadership in Israel and the western world. To gauge if the west has the courage needed to wage a long bloody war against Islamic terror and Iran. In this both Israel and the west after the event in Qana will fail. Israel failed from the start by trying to solve the problem with an air war.
Fourth is to allow Hizballah to position itself after many civilian casualties in Lebanon to gain even more power after the next election. Watch in three years for Hizballah to at least double in size in the Parliament of Lebanon.
With weak leadership in Israel, to have the best army in the world is to no avail, for it the army is only as strong as the weakest link in this case the civilian government.
This fact will result in a new wave of recruits for not just Hizballah but all the terror groups in the Islamic terror fold. But even more important it will strengthen Iran’s resolve to push for nuclear weapons.
