#1 If you believe that paragraph, you show me one politican of substance that will run an 'time to leave Israel fend for itself' platform this fall, other than the usual suspects.

#2 Another in a series of tiresome, downbeat analyses that seem to be the latest fad. And this comes just as reports are airing of some 500 dead Hezbos and Israeli troops clearing out Hezbo terrs from 20 Lebanese towns.

Also, Fox News reports that the IDF is engaged in a pincer movement against Hezbos in border-area towns and villages. As IDF ground troops slam into these fortified positions from the south, other IDF troops are slowing moving in from the north. That translates into move $1,000 payments from Syria to Hezbo families that have had one of their own sent to the heavenly hothouse.

#3 Sh*t!

As IDF ground troops slam into these fortified positions from the south, other IDF troops are *slowly* moving in from the north. That translates into *more* $1,000 payments from Syria to Hezbo families that have had one of their own sent to the heavenly hothouse.

Most people are familiar with the quick-strike IDF type of victory (think Six Day War, Lebanon invasion 1982) or recovery from near defeat as what happened in 1973. This is not that kind of war. It is a slow, methodical, plodding effort against a formidable, professional terrorist army.

#4 I think the US defeating two countries in a short amount of time made everybody believe wars are short. I think MSM forgot most wars are very long.

#5 Thanks to the person that posted this.

If someone thinks that IDF and specially politicians performance has been good then dont knows much about warfare and what is requested to an army.

#6 "I think MSM forgot most wars are very long."

No, the media had gotten the wars it wanted. It is not happy they are again longer than the broadcast time between commercials.
