File under: Hezbollah

#1 The big question for Lebs is how many Leb rockets will it take for Israel to decide several nukes is an even exchange. Poisoning everything from the Litani to the Israeli border with radiation would remove the Hizb threat for a long, long time.

Of course, Israel would have to be lead by a PM with courage, something which rules Olmert out.

#2
I doubt they'd do that. Their problem in 2006 wasn't that Hezbollah was so overwhelming -- the rocket attacks were scary and irritating, but they were actually pretty ineffectual. Olmert's indecisiveness, running ferocious in the morning and afraid he was going to hurt someone in the afternoon, was what screwed Israel.

Having Peretz as defense minister was simply stoopid, and having an air force general command what should have been a combined arms operation made things even worse. Peretz and Haalutz had the grace to resign. Olmert's the thing that wouldn't leave.

#3 It would be nice if they didn't have to. The best way to insure that is to make certain the Lebs know both they and Hizb will get it in the neck if they start something. That will take a guy like Bibi being in the driver's seat, although no one made the Muzzies sit up and take notice like Sharon. Whoever Israel's next PM is, they better be ready to kick ass and take names at the first hint of trouble from Leb. Hizb is way too cocky and they need to be reminded who is the boss in that neck of the woods.

Radiation spreads.

Or didn't you know that?

#5 ISRAEL's biggest worries right now is future NUCLEAR TERROR + per se IRANIAN PREEMPTIVE/NUKE FIRST-STRIKE.
