they really believe that Hizballah already won this war because Israel did not even occupy Bint Jbeil and Maroon Al Ras, they withdrew from both towns.

I was afraid of that. This is not just a shooting war, it is also a PR war.

I heard former CIA agent Bob Baer on tv (CNN or Fox) before we went out last night. I know he has an agenda, but he said something interesting.

He still has friends in Lebanon after living there so long and one of his friends called him. His friend said he watched Hezbollah move out of their homes the day this started and blended into other neighborhoods and Lebanon and this is why Israel is having a hard time taking them out.

Occupying southern lebanon shouldn't be the goal. Clearing out Hezzbollah fighters is the goal.

It was not be "good" PR to invade at this time...IMO.
