#2 To defeat Hizbullah, Israeli's need a Jewish Zhukov. Sometimes one cannot finnesse one's way to victory...

#3 This is a very positive move. Kick some serious ass, Sherman's March to the Northern border (of Lebanon).

#4 No surprise. Hope it fixes some stuff(it is impossible to fix all and even less considering Halutz and Olmert ). He is a former Golani Brigade Commander. I said things werent going right, HZB is still popping almost 200 rockets a day.
I hope he isnt a Zukhov...Russkies know it wasnt good idea to serve under Zukhov he shortenend the live of his own soldiers with his brutal offensives.

#6 Remember Kaplinski is the guy who at the end of week one said we won't have to send in ground troops because the IAF has destroyed 40% of Hezb'Allah's infrastructure. Again, I can't wait for the book.

#8 Okay, so he bought the flyboy jib, at least he's infantry. The Golani Brigade brings fear to the enemy.

#9 Could have been disinformation, too. That's why I'm waiting for the book. I'll bet there's been more fighting going on within the senior command/political levels of Israel than with Hezb'Allah.

#12 Big boss doesnt like the job North boss is doing so sended a supervising boss :) The supervising and the big boss have apparently the problem of thinking that airforce mainly can finish the job and made various over optimistic declarations in the past. The North boss from the news just seems to be happy doing the less possible.

#13 Which part? The disinformation meant he was lying to the press to mislead the Hezb'Allah about Israeli assessment of the situation and plans. That's the problem for a civilian of trying to figure out what's going on real time during war. It may or may not be in the interest of either party to let you know the truth because when they tell you, they also tell the enemy.

#14 Nukes have a certain clarity.

#15 Darell, yes, but not in the constrained space of Israel and Levant. They would be very fuzzy, if I may use that expression.
