Sort of OT here, but: A couple of weeks ago, there was a flame-fest thread here, I was the flamee. At that time, I thought about making a list of posters to avoid because something they said ticked me off (you were not involved). Then I said "Nah, ya gotta judge each post on its merit."

Your explanation of where the troops might be deployed, how the Hez will be brought to their (hungry) knees made me glad I don't judge the post by the postee. Thanks for a very good explanation!

Thanks for a very good explanation

Lots of things make sense now. I was puzzled by why IDF would go in clean out a village and then withdraw? They did it over and over.They had to be taking out supplies.. but not the Hezbollah troops. They escaped and then came back.

Then we learn that all the roads in South Lebanon that could be used for resupply were destroyed.

And when they said any cars or trucks moving would be destroyed... HMMMMM

It now appears that when Israel said they had attrited Hezbollah by major percentages they were not talking about how many missiles they had destroyed. They were talking about ammunition and food destroyed.

When they finally deployed the 30 thousand troops, and I saw the first days casualty numbers a lot of pieces of the puzzle fell into place.

For the first time ... the puzzle looks like a pictures ...at least to me.
