Halutz had become a lightning rod for criticism of the ill-fated military campaign launched after Hezbollah fighters seized two soldiers along Israel's border with Lebanon.It's fine for the Israeli's to blame the general if they want, but who called off the attacks? Who brought the soldiers back home before the missions were accomplished? Was it the general who did that? Or the civilian leadership?The July-August conflict failed to achieve either of its stated goals of freeing the men or stopping Hezbollah rocket fire.
I think Nentanyahu (spelling?) was at the Entebbe raid as well (or was it one of the Nentanyahu brothers?) , if memory serves. Get rid of the current pussy prime minister, and put Nentanyahu in there. Then go back into Lebanon, and wherever else is necessary, and ANNIHILATE the terrorist ragheaded bastards.
Ping!
