I'm reading that Israel has only mobilized 5-10% of its forces against Hezbollah?

Second guessers. Israel will do fine.
That said, a needed wake-up call against the soft underbelly before having to fight a real army.

You attack the Hez-ebolas with all your might and Egypt would roll in from the flank.

It is too early to predict just what changes we will see and who will pick up the pieces...Benjamin Netanyahu.

Israel claims that it can mobilize over 600,000 troops, mostly reserves, within 48 hours.

A remarkably stupid article. Counter Terrorist operations are not the same as a conventional military fight. Comparing the 6 day war or the 1973 war to this fight in Lebanon is an absurd comparison of Apples to Peanuts. It does not fight in any way shape or form. Counter Terrorist ops work at a totally different pace. It is this idiotic need to try and force a Asymmetrical Warfare problem into the Conventional Warfare format by these "Conservative Military Experts" that renders their analysis completely ridiculous.

"The blindness displayed by those elites toward the future and the recent blindness of the past will no doubt yield political consequences and a reckoning."
As it will in America if the Dhimmicrats take over.

I'm reading that Israel has only mobilized 5-10% of its forces against Hezbollah? Mobilizations are extrodinarily costly from an economic perspective. A call up of 50,000 would be equivalent of calling up 2.5 million in the US. That said, they seem to have adequate forces to do the task at hand, which is limited.

Those who think we must always do today as we have done before are doomed.
The hezzies defended against a blitz and the IDF has foiled those efforts by deliberately probing and killing.
The object according to Patton is to make that other sombitch die for his country. That's what is unfolding.

Secular Jews believe that it is the IDF rather than the God of Abraham that preserves Israel.
The surprise is - what?

There it is!......

The 1973 war ultimately led to the 1977 “revolution” in Israeli politics that brought the Likud and Menahem Begin to power.Once the dust settles, it seems likely that Olmert will be out. He's allowed 2500 rockets to be rained down on population centers for weeks now and also made the IDF look somewhat impotent. I believe the Israelis will get the job done in the end but then they're going to look internally and think "who got us into this mess?".
