#2 Don't get too arrogant. The IDF didn't do so well the last time they went up against Hesb'allah.

#3 ROE are critical - IDF (or US) are handicapped against HB etc. unless things get bad enough that the gloves come off. Assad has open ROE plus is desperate.

#6 Mind you, most Israelis blame Olmert---he should've expect it. Well, one of the reasons he's in jail now.

#9 The IDF kicked Hesb'allah's ass. Go back and read your history books. Why do you think they haven't had the guts to try again?
