| Hmmm, that`s interesting news. Let`s see what he offers up as a gem of wisdom from his soldiering: "...as a former soldier, I can tell you right now that using the air force is no act of cowardance." The use of air power alone will not work as shown in the Second Lebanon War that Israel lost due to its over-dependence on the destruction of civilian infrastructure instead of actual militant targets. Sufficient ground forces must follow an initial air assault and be covered by air support to finish up the job in person, that never happened during the initial phase of the US cheered effort to eliminate Hezbollah. Everyone but wingnuts are carefully weighing just how costly this necessary step will be for Israel and the Palestinians. And after those lives are expended and Israel holds the territory, then what? Israel already occupied Gaza and had it under siege. Now what former soldier de Klerk? What does Israel do now? Will a northern front open? Will Russia move in the UNSC? |
