#1 According to a JPost article I just submitted, "The cabinet-approved plan, according to senior IDF sources, was to utilize the last remaining days of the operation, which they estimated would be over by week's end, to push Hizbullah back as far north as the Litani River in central Lebanon." Someone should tell DEBKA or Olmert that folks don't seem to be using the same book, let alone being on the same page. This is not disinformation or confusing the enemy, it is the keystone kops. I am very worried about how Hezb'Allah will metastisize if they are not really destroyed, something no one on the Israeli side appears to have the stomach for.

#2 It may well be keystone cops - but it may well be disinformation. That's the beauty of disinformation.

#5 Anyhoo, iff Nasrallah makes good on his promise to begin using larger-sized rockets, etal. the Litani buffer isn't going to cut it as a buffer for Israel. And, iff what Israel's ambassador says about Syria + Iran seeing no borders between them and Israel = Lebanon, Israel is already "over the border" vv Syria-Iran as the latter do not consider Lebanon a sovereign nation anyways. The Hizzies, Hezzies, Hamies, and Jihis are in effect para-military extensions/proxies of the Syrian-Iranian armed forces and Radical Islamic [Shia?]fundamentalism.
