Agreed it was a top secret.................it is no longer now.........but what was achieved?
3. #1 Shut the hell up and learn the facts you moron
RA   (08.19.06)
The soldiers want to fight a lot more than Olmert, and rightfully so. Idiot Olmert isnt letting the IDF do its job.

How long will you make questionnable operations to increase the number of killed soldates to be disconsidered by international community
6. Another failed attempt
Ely greenhut   (08.19.06)
Olmart & Peretz will never learn from their mistakes. It is time for them to be removed.
7. Ceasefire? or Rearm?
Michael ,   Minneapolis USA   (08.19.06)
It is evident that this ceasefire is only intended to give Hezbo sufficient time to restock its missiles.
8. THIS GOVERMENT IS WEAK AND MUST CHANGE
REUVEN ,   USA   (08.19.06)
THEY DONT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.IN THE FIRST PLACE THEY DID NOT FINISH THE JOB, NOW IS TOO LATE FOR THEIR FOOLISHNESS .
9. I saw water flowing...
Norway ,   Ezekiel 47   (08.19.06)
the water flowed down I saw water trickling... and I wade across the stream the water came up to my ankles and I wade through the water which reached my knees... and I wade through water up to my waist and it was a river... I couldn't cross on foot because the water was so deep one would have to swim across it was a river... that could not be waded through He asked me human being, have you seen this? guiding me, He got me back to the riverbank He said to me this water flows... and when it enters the sea the sea of stagnant water its water will become fresh... when this happens swarms of all kinds of living creatures will be able to live in it wherever the streams flow... there will be a vast number of fish for this water is flowing there... and wherever the river goes everything will be restored and able to live... then fishermen will stand on its shores... spreading their nets all the way there will be a great variety many kinds of fish there... as in the Great Sea At the riverbanks will grow... all kinds of trees for food their leaves will not dry up nor will their fruit fail... there will be a different kind of fruit because the water flows... from the Sanctuary... so this fruit will be edible and the leaves will have healing properties...
10. The winner is not always good.
Mustafa ,   Egypt   (08.19.06)
So you are arguing only the tactics and mechanism of the operation. The goal; all of you are agreed upon. So what about the consequences. Suppose that the operation had achieved your goal, you would have to face consequences much more worse than that of the failed operation. This proves that you are not only arrogant but also brainless.
11. Olmert and Peretz looking for victory
(08.19.06)
Both are trying hard to cover the distaster they caused by creating any operation can make even a fake victory maybe the people can vorgive the lose of the IDF against Hizballah , but still they couldn't do it and they lost even another officer .... Lebanon needs money to rebuild Lebanon but Israel needs leaders to drive Israel to the real peace .... the time of the wars is over and Israel lost alot in this war ... the anti-Israel countries are now more than never before and Israel made it by their hands ... more wars more problems for Israel and the Jews around the world ... time to be wise ... everybody will win ..... only the weapons factories not ....
12. Pathetic propaganda
Stan ,   USA   (08.19.06)
Israeli propganada is really pathetic So lets say hizbullah was smuggling arms, why send a command elite force and not bomb it with their not so smart missiles? Why risk loosing elite commando force for something that can be easilly done from the sky? And what was the commando force supposed to do anyways ? make a checkpoint and search cars for smuggled weapons?
13. mr. nas now almost has what he wanted
spekulatius   (08.19.06)
the lebanese army as a shield and little helper in the south the lebanese people as a shield in the south no strong un-force in his territory time to reorganice and israel army somehow clueless what to do
14. Olmert & Peretz Must Go
Jerry ,   NYC, USA   (08.19.06)
for the sake of the entire world, Jews, Arabs, Muslims, etc. Imbeciles such as this should not have power to do anything except get out of bed in the morning.
15. THE WORLD WON'T BELIEVE IT.
Arik Silverman ,   Milwaukee USA   (08.19.06)
"The IDF refuted Lebanese reports that the operation was aimed at kidnapping or killing senior Hizbullah officials, saying the operation is part of efforts to curtail Hizbullah's smuggling of weapons from Syrian." This was obviously a kidnapping attempt. When IDF wants to destroy trucks carrying arms it uses IAF to fire rockets. It won't endanger soldiers to do what the IAF can do without risk. THE WORLD WILL NOT BELIEVE ISRAEL'S DENIAL. HAS ISRAEL LOST ITS SENSE OF REALITY? IT'S BAD ENOUGH TO ENGAGE IN ACTIONS TO PROVOKE RENEWAL OF THE FIGHTING, BUT THEN TO MAKE SUCH A LAME EXCUSE MAKES IT LOOK SO FOOLISH. CLEARLY A NEW GOVERNMENT IS NEEDED IN ISRAEL.
16. Defending our freedom
Georgette ,   Los Angeles, US   (08.19.06)
Although I agree that Olmert, Peretz and Halutz must gor, but this was not a failed operation. Not totally successful does not equal to failure. It is unfortunate that we suffer casualties. Every single soldier is a terrible loss. But these heroes are trying to defend our freedom; our democracy.
17. to 5
a voice ,   the Czech Republic   (08.19.06)
Where are the brave French troups France has promised to deploy in the Lebanon, you Daladier offspring?
18. Grandpa take your gerytol and shut up
Grandpa buster   (08.19.06)
19. Truce will not hold for long
Ben ,   Dubai   (08.19.06)
This violation proves Israel does not know what it wants. They were begging teh US for a cease fire because of the IDF losses in Leb and rockets slamming israel, and then when they finally got a cease fire, they' reprovoking a reaction from hiz for a pre-text to start the war all over. But this time, stupid Olmert playing with fire could make this a regional war..
20. Who the Hell is Proud Grampa?!?
Nicholas ,   Boston, MA   (08.19.06)
Liberal derelict in a basement? Speak up who the hell are you?
21. Lebanon has a right to defend itself against Jewish attacks
Ben ,   usa   (08.19.06)
22. you Daladier offspring !!!!
(08.19.06)
BRWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
23. Are you sure they were terrorists?
Zack ,   Canada   (08.19.06)
You Israelis seem to label any Arab a terrorist. Are you sure they weren't littel children? I mean it is possible; Israel has experience in capturing children and killing the in the PT.
24. UNTRUSTWORTHY ZIONISTS AT IT AGAIN
Salameh ,   Gaza, Palestine   (08.19.06)
Never trust a zionist, they never honour an agreement or accord they sign, and before its ink dries, they violate it and run to their masters in the west crying like chrocodiles.
25. #15 Arik Silverman
zov ,   rosenberg, tx   (08.19.06)
Arik, Do you really follow the principle: "If something is not talked about, it does not exists" (B. Shaw). Just think how many troops will be willing to arrive in Lebanon after this reid.
26. What makes Islam different? The truth!
Patte ,   Michigan, USA   (08.19.06)
This really happened - just showing the difference between Islam and other religions - The Basics of Islam >>>>>> >>>>>> This is a must read -- it's short but Very informative! >>>>>> The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States, especially in the minority races! >>>>>> Allah or Jesus? By Rick Mathes >>>>>> Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. >>>>>> During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their beliefs. >>>>>> The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam complete with a video. After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. >>>>>> When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked: "Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world. And, that by killing an infidel, which is a command to all Muslims, they are assured of a in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?" >>>>>> There was no disagreement with my statements and without hesitation, he replied, "Non-believers!" >>>>>> I responded, "So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can go to Heaven. Is that correct?" >>>>>> The _expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar. >>>>>> He sheepishly replied, "Yes." >>>>>> I then stated, "Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering Protestants to do the same in order to go to Heaven!" >>>>>> The Imam was speechless. >>>>>> I continued, "I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me. Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to Heaven or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to Heaven and He wants you to be with me?" >>>>>> You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head. >>>>>> Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the "Diversification" training seminar were not happy with Rick's way of dealing with the Islamic Imam and exposing the truth about them. I think everyone in the U. S. Should be required to read this, but with the liberal justice system, liberal media, and the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized. >>>>>>This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader in prison ministry.
27. Well done
joseph ,   New Jersey USA   (08.19.06)
Awesome stuff, we need more of these operations. Keep up the great work. May there be many more
28. #19 get your facts straight benny
eugene ,   israel   (08.19.06)
it was the lebanese government and hezbollah that wanted a cease fire since the beginning of the war, israel didnt..it was pressured by us and un to agree to it. and secondly, i wouldnt draw conclusions from a tiny bit of info we are given about this operation. its really stupid to speculate and talk whether this operation was succesful or not or whether it could be cunducted differently..i'd trust idf on this that they did what they had to do and succeeded, despite the loss of one soldier.
29. #19 Ben from Dubai
Jonathan ,   Palo Alto, USA   (08.19.06)
You have a very short memory, which is typical for arab "warriors". Leb prime minister Siniora was crying and begging for cease-fire. All you stupid "brave leaders of resistance" went on hiding from day 1, some of them are still nowhere to be seen. Not a single live air video address on al-manar or al-jazzira.
30. Israeli terrorists
jack ,   USA   (08.19.06)
Clearly its Israel who are the the terrorists.
