Ground War On - per Drudge
2006-08-11
Just like a fucking yo-yo. I guess Hezbollah declaring victory was a little too much. The way Israeli politicians are managing this war, I figure the ground offensive will be called back in 15 minutes.

Defense official says the Israeli defense minister has instructed the military to launch its expanded ground offensive in Lebanon.

#5  Done deal. Olmert takes the cease fire without the IDF achieving any of the goals assigned to it...it's not as if they were allowed to. Olmert should be arrested for gross negligence and deriliction of duty.

#4  This sounds like Vietnam compressed into a few weeks. Bomb, Halt Bombing, Christmas Pause, Tet Truce, Tet Offensive, etc. etc. etc. Operation Linebacker came 6 to 7 Years too late.

#3  Betcha it ain't. UN to vote on draft ceasefire resolution. My money sez Olmert takes it as it's what he's always wanted. End result - catastrophic Hez-B victory and Israel established as paper tiger.

#2  Maybe we should have a 24 hour comment delay on these kinds of things. Otherwise some good Rantburgers are gonna burst some blood vessels in elation or dispair.

#1  I fear you are right. Sharon would not have been so reckless. After Sharon's decisive victory expelling 100,000 people from thier homes what else could you expect from this crew.
