Israel talks tough, but doubts are starting to appear


<snip>

In Lebanon, more than 325 civilians have been killed, 1,000 civilians wounded and over 500,000 displaced. Israel's dead counted 29, about half of them soldiers, until Thursday, when nine Israeli soldiers were reported killed in a Hizbullah ambush while advancing into Lebanon.

"It is undeniable that Israel is in a bind. The army has again been over-confident and underestimated its abilities to break Hizbullah," said Israeli military analyst Reuven Pedatzur.

The risk now is for Israel to invade South Lebanon. That would make its troops vulnerable to Hizbullah fighters.

For the moment at least, the specter of sliding back into the quagmire of Lebanon has put the brakes on a ground offensive. Yet Olmert has approved intensified ground operations, described by the Israeli Army as "pinpoint."

1. I thought Olmert was supposed to be more moderate.....

but I guess without any intervention this is what happens. The world stands by and waits for Lebanon's destruction and the Chimp will Scream and throw his toys around crowing about how the "Terraists" were routed in Lebanon and now Democracy will reign throughout the ME. Maybe he will even declare a "joint mission" between Israel and US Military to show Iraq what can be accomplished when two "World Leaders" stand up to the "Terraists." He might even denounce his partnership with Blair and GB as a mistake figuring that "Tony Boy" really let him down in Iraq.

Let's bring the "BIG BOYS ON" the Chimp will scream (imitating Chris Matthews) as he kisses another bald headed man's head and feels up another unsuspecting female.

(Sorry...this is all getting to me...) :-(
