#1 Never much cared for Stratfor. Has a distinct leftwing perspective.

As for this piece, it's lacking any real insights. Israel has to get rid of the rocket threat. Oh, really? People pay for this analysis?

#2 The only real conclusion will be Israel forcing the Lebanese army out of its comfy barracks to occupy the Hezbollah territory and the non-combatant Shiites who live there, for such a length of time that the Leb army develops an inertia in their new space and will have to be disloged.

The only other alternative would be to force all the Shiites into Syria, so Lebanon would be fully Christian and Sunni, no Shiites allowed.
