dont come home soon. HOW SOON ? DISCLOSE A TIME !DEMAND NOW !
2. Even your leaders and troops admit defeat
Sorry to ,   Say   (01.17.07)
At least some people recognize that Israel lost the war in Lebanon. Israel must improve if it wants to win future wars against Hizzballlah. Israel cannot defeat a small bunch of determinned soldiers, as witnessed in Gaza as well. Kadima is soft, and will bring the State of Israel to its knees. Kadima will lose every war and give land away for peace like a bunch of idiots. Sorry to say, as long as Kadima is in power, Israel will never win anything!

what is life ? give your best fight and do not beat yourself that you are not a God. thats it. give your best fight. I WOULDNT BE SORRY THAT WE LOSE IN PEACE IF WE FIGHT TO MOON PEOPLE ! The God created our brains as deadly machine guns. COME TO HAVE CONTROL ON IT. COME TO EXPECT ALL OTHERS HAVE CONTROL ON IT. we come this world, and we go to other side. who cares other side that much ? not me. If I lose in here I dont care there. Atilla Karagözoğlu
5. Halutz, Olmert and Peretz only partially to blame
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (01.17.07)
No one disputes that blame for the failure of obtaining objectives in the Lebanon War of 2006 must lie fairly and squarely on the shoulders of the only "Military Man" in the triumvirate, Dan Halutz. The fact the Prime Minister Olmert and his Defense Minister failed to see that things were getting worse certainly raises questions of their competency. However, when it comes to the rescue of Udi Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, blame must be placed on George W. Bush, Tony Blair, Jaques Chirac and the most incompetent UN Secretary General of all time, Kofi Annan. Their demands of restraint and the failure of their intelligence services to back Israel's claims of evidence manipulation by Reuters and other news agencies allowed Israel's enemies to have a field day resulting in massive international pressure on Olmert to accept the cease fire. Even now, the USA, The UK and the EU are closing their eyes to the facts that Hezbollah is laughing at the terms of the cease fire, camping on our border and the "Peace Keepers" are doing nothing to stop this. The fox is guarding the chicken coup! Two days ago the allies killed 225 people in Afghanistan. Not a word of criticism by Amnesty International. 225 in ONE day which is a quarter of the number of Lebanese allegedly killed in the entire war of July and August. It can only be concluded that Bush and Blair can kill as many people as they like and cause the deaths of tens of thousands in Iraq in a war based on the lie of Weapons of Mass Destruction, while Israel, who was attacked and bombed more than 3,000 times was denied the right to defend herself and recover our kidnapped soldiers.

...at the end of the day, no matter what obstacles are in the way, in war, you just have to know the enemy & you have to know yourself. Israel`s leaders knew neither. In fact, they were remiss on EVERY salient point. They only accomplished casualties, and then afterwards sought to insulate themselves from becoming same at the hands of the citizens. Bush, Rice, Kofi, the UN, the EU, Reuters, the Red Cross, etc., are what they are....they ARE NOT factors that need to be considered when it comes to the Israeli govt.`s responsibility to its` people. IMI is selling Tavors to Colombia while IDF reservists went into Lebanon with old M-16s, IAI sold India 50 of its latest UAVs while many IDF infantry had NO intel assets for their objectives, resulting in countless ambushes. Israel exports state-of-the-art 3rd gen. night vision gear to Belgium, India, Singapore, yet Hizbollah had more units than IDF reservists. You don`t need a war to prove your failings.
