yossi is one of the better journalists around with his eyes wide open, rather than shiffer whose political leanings blind him to his incompetent heros herzog and livni. Since 2006 and olmert, idf ground attacks have been bloody anemic from cast lead to bibi's protective edge, limited attacks against buildings. Gaza should be attacked from all sides, cut off, fuel blown, dockyards knocked out, top leadership buried and press thrown out. Instead of we have lousy war plans. Gantz was a philosopher and peace ambassador. israel needs a war general with blood on his gun.,

to lead the way--ground forces used for defensive purposes only.Gaza, will not go to war for many years to come if ever again--once reconstruction begins.The North is the problem--that's where good planning is needed..Sea and Air--New type weapons needed.Victory can be achived without loss of life by---staying smart!

You CANNOT win a war WITHOUT boots on the ground. Israel re-learned that lesson during the tenure of Olmert and Dan Halutz. How many times does one need to learn that lesson?
