SAFED, Israel (Reuters) - Israel's offensive against Lebanese Hizbollah guerrillas could last several more weeks, an Israeli army general said on Wednesday.

"Given the progress over the last two weeks, I reckon it will continue for several more weeks," Major-General Udi Adam, head of the northern command, told reporters. Israel launched its offensive following a deadly Hizbollah border raid on July 12.

3. yep, so much progress

Yeah, at a mile a day their plan should take another month or two.

This is a trial balloon to see how much time the Bushies are going to give them- because they'll need every minute. (And probably still fail at their objective.)
