"The Lebanese govt has thrown in its lot with the Hezbozos, and now their population will pay the price."
Are you kidding me? What "price" for? They aren't military targets their talking about. And Israel can spin that BS about "supply lines" all they want, it's still BS. The supply line, if one is even needed, is through the Bekaa, a supposed supply line the Israelis could shut with small armor thrust.
Olmert blew it. Should have gone to the Litani and had something to trade. Instead he's going to beat up a government that fears Syria might come back in to "stabilize" it.
Maybe Olmert is just plain afraid to take on Hezbollah directly.
Maybe Hezbollah is just plain afraid to take on the IDF directly. That is why they have to hide behind women and children.
You keep mentioning some "trade" thing. Do you mean the ransom of the 2 IDF soldiers Hezbollah is holding? Just pay the ransom. Is that what you mean by "trade" wise guy?
Yeah, I would tend to agree with that. By the way....does anyone know why Israel doesnt have heavy bombers? Man just a half dozen, carpet bombing the crap out of those ridge lines in So Leb would do wonders.
