You Israeli apologists are simply sticking your head in the sand; Olmert tried to take an opportunity presented to him to try to wipe out an inconvenient terrorist organization.
He wanted to do this before moving onto the serious business of taking out Syria and Iran, and all he succeded in doing was getting a black eye and a thump on the nose that shook him to the core.
Musawi is right; Israel treated Hezbollah like a rag-tag gang of thugs, and found themselves - to their immense shock - in a vicious fight with a well-trained, highly disciplined militia.
"no one will take us lightly from now on, especially since we have only gained strength of late."
Says it all, really. Regardless of the respective damage or loss of life the strategic victory was clearly Hezbollah`s, for exactly the reasons quoted above. |
