Olmert job is on the line as Israel army could not perform upto the level. Fabled army myth tattered?

Answer 1

Yes and history is the witness, that end of the day tyrants suffer.
The killing of humanity (children especially and un-armed innocents) will not let them sleep so easily. They will pay for their sins by the end of the day. Either they have done in the name of their nation or saving whatever. This is a unique type of saving that I have seen by killing someone lols. Were those innocent children and people so dangerous to their powerful neuclear weapon equipped airforce/army? The question to the world comes who is the most dangerous amongst them?
May God bless the humanity in this world. Amen. and especially bless the souls of those innocent children who had not even seen flowers but were blasted with the heavy bombs. I wish that people think like that it had happened to them/their children, so than they can understand the pain and loss of the Lebanese.
Hezbullah is a politicial organziation too, who is sitting in parliaments and in their areas they are paying for children's education/health/clothing/food etc etc., One should know that too and sorry that it is not a Hip hop or RnB, this is serious.

Answer 2

I don't think so nor do I think it is a myth. The Israeli Defense Force are above and beyond probably the best military force in the Middle East. SO the question is what level and what were the objectives? Also what type of troops where used when the offensive widened?

The IDF had for primary objective the eradication of the Hezbollah threat to Northern Israel. They have largely accomplished that through fair and foul means. They also have given vital battlefield experience to a new generation of soldiers who for the most part where not prepared to fight. Result - they've culled through death and injury as well as fitness tests those who were not prepared or unwilling to dedicate themselves. They've also managed to preserve their place as the biding core of the Israeli nation.

What Hezbollah has indavertently handed to the IDF is the perfect training ground exercise for a new generation of soldiers as well as presented the Israeli people with an excuse not to react (perpetuating the siege mentality and inherent atitufes thereof).

Israel has benefitted from this more than Hezbollah or any other group ever will. The Israelis were testing weapons and tactics, HEzbollah lost strategic advantages, in the loss of territory, surprise. materiel and trained manpower.

Isreal is only really good at assanations - not too good at war.
