#1 May be some elements of truth here, but when they say " gave Hezbollah a decisive battlefield advantage" they do damage their credibility. Also, citing Gary Sick is not a real credibility builder either.

#2 This may mean more diplomacy or it may mean more, and more concentrated, violence.

Peace through superior firepower!

#3 Carpet-bombing -- how unspeakably evil, as opposed to randomly firing thousands of rockets at civilians.

#4 "It [the technological breakthrough] may mean that the US and Israel no longer have the ability to operate at lower levels of violence on a supreme basis," said a Middle East analyst. "The playing field is more leveled. This may mean more diplomacy or it may mean more, and more concentrated, violence."

This is the money line for Israel and the United States. If terrorists insist upon ratcheting up what is required to defeat them, it is incumbent upon us to oblige these twisted f&cks. There is no alternative. Appeasement or coexistence with these pychotic killers is not an option.

My guess is that it is not a matter of figuring-out things. My bet is a mole or stolen radio gear.

#6 I'd bet dollars to donuts that it won't happen NEXT time - and Hezbollocks will guarantee there IS a "next time".

#7 Now that it has been discovered that they are listening........"Happening again" should be encouraged. Read into that whatever you would like....... grin, grin.

#9 "We are supposed to be able to read and interfere with their communications, not vice versa. A lot of calculations are based on that premise."

And where are they learning to do the things they do? From us, in our universities! We grant the visas to come here and learn our technology. They want the 7th Century, we should see that they get it. No more education visas for Muslims, or ChiComs either.
