#1 Hezbonuts won't respect the cease-fire, so the IDF will be able to destroy totally the bunkers and caches of weapons. I strongly hope so (When all seems lost, anything conveys hope).

#2 That is my expectation too.

Ultimately, Israel does NOT want to re-occupy Lebanon again. So after Hezb'allah is smashed there needs to be an alternative in place so they can withdraw. Best it be something Bolton is monitoring than what Iran and Syria cook up.

#3 Hezbos taking counter-offensive here. Ceasefire nothing more than a reloading effort. They want to take potshots at Israeli soldiers in force protection mode like in pre-2000.

I still maintain that with the Hezbo-Iranian-Syrian alliance running Lebanon, the Israelis should annex Lebanon and start the Nuremberg trials, starting with Lahoud, Berri, etc., etc.

#4 It too late for that - Israel's enemy is now Radical Iran, iff only becuz Iran does not see any borderlines between Tehran and Damascus and Beirut, and JORDAN, or likely even Jerusalem. The Syrians = Lebs = UNO may think otherwise, but so what > they have to stop/defeat Moud and Mullahs and Iranian ambitions in order to keep their sovereignty and traditions. AS WITH AMERICA AND AMER'S ENEMIES, THE "STATUS QUO" NO SERVES ISRAEL'S ENEMIES EITHER. NASREY > SYRIAN HEZBOLLAH will not stop or cease its right-resistance against Israel. No word yet from Iranian HIZBOLLAH, etal.

#5 Joe:
I pretty much understood that, and agree with it.

Obviously, the tumor must be messing with My brain again.

#6 Uhm, yeah, what Joe said. This "ceasfire" is a friggin joke. The Knesset knew that when they voted on it. It actually gives the Israelis great cover and resets the "bad guy" image back onto Hezbo. They are now the ones not accepting the nice international cease fire. Isreal wanted to play, but not nasty Nasrallah. Too bad. Please to come Arc Lights.
