womans dresses and behind baby beds. If Israel could do the War the way it ought to, then Hez would be finished MUCH quicker than writers in this post believe. HEZ is fighting War in the most unique circumstances according to its very own rules which are unbelievable. Israel has lost many lives because it is playing TOO fair.

I very much doubt that the Barakat guy knows what he's talking about. However we must be sincere with ourselves to the end. Israel made a lousy figure in this fight ! I very much hope that the lessons have been learned by both political and military /intelligence echelons

its amazing how many can be fooled so many times, again and again... dictionary , to win: to obtain or earn, to capture, conquer, to take in battle. ok, now, lets discuss it. what did hizbulla take in battle ? what did it obtain ? capture ? in all the previous wars, by any nation, the end of the war was when the winners stood on the defeated sides land, with the arabs it means aggressors land, captured it. that was the fact also in the previous wars of israel against the aggressive arabs. in 48, we got , by defending ourselves from the arabs invasion, more land than UN allocated us, just coz the arabs didnt comply with the UNs dividing of the land. in 56, we stood on the Suez canals shores. in 67, well, need i go into details ??! what did we take ? in 73, we advanced into egypt ! beyond the suez canal, and the 3rd egyptian army was surrounded by israeli troops. the 3rd army was close to dyeing coz lack of supply, but israel had mercy and didnt destroy it. israel was 100 km close to cairo, and 35 km close to damascus. and that is the FACT NOW ! israel is on hizbulla land, so called lebanon. or if u want to reverse it, lebanon , also called hizbulla. ( coz lebanon isnt sovereign in the south ). and all these times/wars it was the UN who saved the arabs from total defeat/destruction. now, egypt may claim victory till the end of times, and celebrate it, but the fact was quite the opposite. and now, again, hizbulla "won" ! hizbulla won ???? in your dreams ! and if you will pursue this dream, you might wake up in a nightmare.

I am with you, we are many jews around the world who think the same. The shame is we are not fighting in the field.

Just issue a threat... next time Israel gets attacked, Mecca gets nuked.

Oh, yeah. A "mere" organization did just great. And we're still here, with fewer losses. Can we all have some of what he's smoking?

Isreal has agreed to the cease-fire only to pacify the fools at the UN. Launch a few rockets into Isreal now....And the Fat Lady will be singing for Hezbollah. If a conflict starts again.....you can be assured the gloves will come off....and Nassrallah will meet his 72 skanks on the other side.

which shame " have this olmert government " for tell yes to all uno resolutions anti israelis and after that the "nil" tsippi livni is happy of this france-usa resolution ""not mentionned of israelis soldieres kidnapped by hezbollah-hamas"" .. which shame usa 'bush& his condi rice have follows pro arabic chirac for defends the cause of lebanon without spoke of israel received as well rocketts from hezbollah and hamas .. this world make me shame & disgutted for take defense of poors civils libaneses are in fact hezbollah soldieres , and I hope of his world will pays this wickeness with terrorism on their houses for understand well israel position !! anyway firstly I want israelis people push this corrupted government olmert and his sbires to be fired for be replaced by " hard rightist tough leaders "like" NADIA MATTAR or avigdor LIEBERMANN for me they will defends priority first of israel security and stratégic and of his people before interest of this world too pro arabics as Israelis leftist loves too much the arabs cause instead to love our heroes of judea samaria are giborims gedolims ...them are am israel hai my condolenses to all israelis dead

theres an old saying by a USAF Retired Master Sargent that says only a fool doesnt learn from the past..its obveious that the nations of Islam hasnt learned from their past defeats that the God Of Israel is guideing the Israel Armies and there leader cannot lose..by the way im that old Master Sargent.

Nasrallah is just another in the long line of Arabs who have claimed victory even as their forces were being defeated. Israel should encourage more of this kind of thinking -- it's better than having the enemy acknowledge what is really going on.

#38...I will refrain myself from embarrassing you. I'm sure you're quite an amazing person. A person that can generate peace, love, understanding, and open mindness. I invite you to think objectively, to not let your emotions control your judgements. I ask you...when is the last time you helped out? When's the last time you helped anyone? When's the last time you contributed to your fellow neighbors...to show that you are the possibility of generated peace and understanding...not death and destruction. Mr. #38, I recommend you recheck your sources of information. I advice you to read other resources, that way you have more than just one resource, in order to make a correct statement. If you would, you would see that Israel has been there way longer than your modern generations. You would be educated to the fact that the word "Palestine" is actually a word given to the Arabs by the Romans. The Arabs that now call themselves "Palestineans" were actually wanderers, because their fellow brothers didn't not want them in their countries. It just so happened that they "settled" in Israel...and now... well.. now they want to be known as the indigenous people, when they really not. Many people do not know that...that is why they don't think objectively...they don't know all the facts. That is why I say to you...go read up on your history. Cheers ^ ^

Hezbollah was told to keep fighting until August 22 see http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2006/08/august_22_end_of_the.html

First God bless all israeli people but this war was not like the others. IDF didn't have the possibilities to win on the field and this is a bad news because this could push other arabs to fight again against Israel so I hope that government knows how to face this big problem.Evandro

The racist JEW-HATING UN resolution threatens Israel's survival and gives massive victory to Lebanon-Hizbullah-Syria-IRAN. A nation that repeatedly surrenders will be taken over by barbaric enemies who show no mercy. Surround the Knesset and don't leave the Knesset until Israeli leaders act to destroy the infrastructures, weapons and rockets of Hizbullah and other terror organizations. Don't leave the Knesset until Israeli leaders agree they will not give Judea & Samaria for global Islamic terror state two - an entity that will threaten Israel and the world. In the battle for the free world, Israel's fight for survival on the frontlines of global jihad is a fight for freedom and human rights for all nations.

Extreme HATE: Responsibility for compliance of the resolution is given to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, infamous for his fanatical hatred of Israel. Extreme DECEIT: Equivalency is made between Iran's Hizbullah terrorist army' vicious unprovoked acts of war against Israel - over 3,000 rockets fired at Israel and Israel's self-defense operations which the resolution refers to as "offensive" military operations. Images show Hizbullah using high-density residential areas to launch rockets: http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,,19955774-5007220,00.html Extreme RACISM: The damage and destruction to Israel is enormous. Israel's economy is devastated. Destruction in some Israeli towns is far worse than experienced by most people in the Lebanese cities of Beirut and Sidon. Profound Jew-hate is revealed in the resolution which asks for financial and humanitarian assistance for Lebanon the aggressor - but no assistance whatsoever for Israel the victim. Extreme DECEIT: The Lebanese government and Hizbullah are one and the same. The US, EU, UN are fully aware that Hizbullah terrorists are part of Lebanon's government and that the Lebanon government actively colludes with Hizbullah: YNETNEWS (08.12.06, 16:52) Siniora accepts deal, praises Hizbullah ...steadfastness of resistance fighters in field was very important,' http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3290107,00.html Extreme DISHONESTY: In 2,000, the UN determined that Israel had withdrawn to the international border. The resolution places Shaba Farms - legally belonging to Israel - up for negotiation. The laws of nations forbids land taken through aggression. The US, EU, UN unlawfully seek to reward Lebanon/Hizbullah/Iran for their unprovoked war of aggression against Israel. Extreme RACISM and DECEIT: In calling for disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon, the US, EU, UN are fully aware Hizbullah will NEVER disarm and know they are giving Lebanon/Hizbullah victory over Israel and a massive victory for Syria and Iran, who sponsor Hizbullah in Iran's war against Israel and the free world. In the global war to bring all nations under Islamic subjugation, the US, EU, UN empowerment of global jihad wickedly betrays Israel and the world's non-Muslims.

How can you predict such a thing? HizBull might have been able to find a way to resist Israel’s expansion beyond its current borders “defensive” but not any “offensive” maneuvers.

PARTS of Lebanon were destroyed by IDF, and all of it will be rebuilt. The reputation of the IDF won't.

I agree with what you say, even though Israel did not win outright, and it appears that it lost, and Hizbullah definitely won in the eyes of the arabs, the real losers, again, are the arab masses who continue to think that they will benefit from destrying Israel, rather than building their own life.

Nasrallah is unwilling to accept his defeat from Israeli girls who were at the control room and guiding the IDF on ground, so to keep his face amongst entire Islamic world he is using strongest words, thanks to those scholar speech drafters behind the screen. There is no winner of this war, we too have lost this war; and present Israeli Government has lost public faith in them.
