Halutz: Bint Jbail not due to lack of intelligence
2006-09-21
A lack of intelligence wasn't the IDF's downfall in Bint Jbail, IDF Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Dan Halutz said in an interview on Channel 1 Wednesday evening. Halutz said that on the intelligence level, the army was aware of what awaited forces in Bint Jbail. The chief of general staff emphasized that "we're in the process of investigating everything that happened," good and bad, and said that such investigations could take another month. "I promise that when everything is concluded, I will present [the information] before all the Israeli people," he said.

#5  Listen General, if you had the intelligence and still allowed the troops into the meatgrinder you should be removed and put on trial immediately. What will be your defense, stupidity ?

#4  I think it was the Israeli uniforms. They need to go art deco (or whatever it should be called) too.

#3  Intelligence is a property of mind that encompasses many related mental abilities, such as the capacities to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend ideas and language, and learn.

#2  Video from Bint Jbail reveals a destroyed city, as were other terror centers - including South Beirut - destroyed. Where the IDF failed was in finding the missile launch sites. Of course, some were mobile and Hizbollah's use of human shields obstructed operations.
