be it a mass casualty event caused by hamas or heavy nasrollah rockets killing 100 israeis, herzog does not have in him to incinerate hezbollah headquarters russian style, and blow up vital fuel and hydroelectric grid in lebanon. the man who feints after giving a speech cannot lead the nation in the down and dirty middile east. now if israel endorses herzog or even lapid to lead the nation, then one really has to come to grips with the fact that the jews simply do not want to resort to arms to defend themselves. and therefore, they should not really have astate.

let us not repeat the dan halutz story of only the air force can handle this. it has been over 13 years since the idf unleashed its ground forces properly and asymmmetrically. olmert, bibi togehter did not know how to attack, as they are both not fighters.

idf has to unleash itself in stealth from several directions using all asymmetrics, and local arabs, robotics, gas and other special muntions to tripwire and pacify and massive specail bombing and then go in force to clean up. it should not rush headlong. with all of the missile interceptors, very good, you still need ground operations.as shapira reported, bibi is disconnected and doesn't know how to fight, lapid has no idea period and herzog is a national embarassment.

you want to win or lose against hezbillah. youwill lose if you install lapid or herzog.
