Here We go Again by Larry Johnson

If you labor under the delusion the George Bush, Dick Cheney, Condi Rice, and Don Rumsfeld learned from the mistakes they made in Iraq, think again. Only this time, they are screwing the pooch with respect to the U.S. policy toward the latest Israeli-Lebanese war. Two of their greatest fantasies are:

Insisting that Syria is somehow behind the decision of Hezbollah to kidnap the Israeli soldiers because they want to reoccupy Lebanon.
Buying into the Israeli nonsense that they can "secure" southern Lebanon with only an air campaign.
News flash for the chuckleheads--Hezbollah's principle sponsor and benefactor is Iran. That has been the case for the last 24 years. While Syrian leaders have been extra careful to have a positive relationship with Hezbollah, there is substantial evidence that Hezbollah has done more to protect Syria than vice versa. For the moment Syrians are frozen with disbelief. They cannot believe how quickly events have erupted into war and that they are being blamed for it.
