All Hezb'Allah's base are belong to Israel
Move Merkava for great justice!
What on earth is Ohmert about anyways? Can't this guy just make up his mind?
No. Ask the IDF.
This is going to strengthen Condi's hand at the talks, but it will take about 72 hours for the armored spearhead to fully develop. I expect the panzer groups to bypass the Hezzie strongpoints. Condi needs to know how to wait out the pressure now. She has to go in and tell those people that they had a deal, but they blew it.
Be Seeing You,

Do they have any ordnance of significance that they haven't yet used that could make their "charge" more likely to succeed? I'm thinking MOAB...
GO ISRAEL! PRAY FOR THEIR TROOPS!!!MAY THEY BE VICTORIOUS!!!
I like the way you think. Frontal firepower does not win battles, strategy and imagination does.
Good week in WOT
1) Ned Lamont wins (Showing voter that dems are weak on WOT)
2) British & US intelligence nab would-be bombers (Using NSA and Swift monitoring to the chagrin of NYTs)
3) Israel is now agressively going after the Hezbos
This argument is old, and wrong. What you have been witnessing is called Gunboat Diplomacy. What Israel has done is cause Hezbollah to reveal their troop movements in anticipation of a ground offensive. A satellite with a big-ass camera is a wonderful thing. Combine that with the call for Cluster munitions, and what you have is a bunch of terrorists about to become swiss cheese. Israel isn't asking for Cluster bombs, they are asking for REPLACEMENT Cluster bombs for the ones that they are about to use. It was a head fake everyone, just to see which way the terrorists would flinch. Israel is about to chew them up. Remember who told you first.
They've been having problems because Hezbollah is so well dug-in to the terrian...its hard for artillery and air strikes to target them. Look for a heavy armored spearhead through the center of the Hezbollah fortifications, maybe accompanied by airborne movements, with the goal to encircle and flank the Hezbollah positions.
"Jimmy Carter wont like this"
There will be plenty of work rebuilding houses.
YES!! GET SOME!
Ordinarially I would agree with you, but with all the dissatisfaction at the top, the shuffling around of the high level generals, and the public pressure on Olmert, it seems like this was just waffling on the part of the politicians. That said, it probably did help IDF get a good handle on enemy locations, and I do think they're going to clean house once they do begin.
For want of a P ..... :)
He's also smart enough to know that yesterday's outing of the airplane terror gang gives him more cachet with the world to put a full-court press on the Hezzies......and he's taking advantage of this (if he does, of course).

Now, stop waffling and level them. No excuses. Nasrallah laughs.....Get him!
I don't know much about it, but doesn't the MOAB have a signficantly greater ability to bomb deeply-dug in troops? I'm all for routing the Islamofascists from off the face of the earth, but shouldn't every effort to reduce the loss of troops be utilized before sending them in.
To me, not doing this is on a par with all this UN nonsense about cease-fires, peaceful solutions, etc. It's taking the kinder, gentler road, when what is necessary to minimize the loss of life is to demonstrate to the enemy a clear, decisive willingness to rain more death on them than they could ever imagine (or be willing to endure).
There was no retreat, just a repositioning to get away from Shepherd Smith.
Indeed! ;D
