3. except for ariel sharon , idf has been static
save ariel shaorn in defensive shield, idf under barak, olmert, yaalon, bibi has been static and defensive. the reverse is happening. it is narollah's boys who are being sengt 25000 of them to take over some towns in the north while bibi cowers behind a new fence, like bar lev in the 1973 war.
while yaalon and gantz led from the rear, and were unimpressive to say the least in the gaza war, real leaders go on the attack in a smart way after softening up the enemy, which is not easy. asymmetric brutal methods need to be used so the boys are not sent on a fools mission.robotics, smoke, flooding, fuel air bombs, destruciton of fuel supplies and a plan to disable lebanon so that nasrollah appreciates the risks he is taking.
none of israels leaders think this way-it is always fences, conccesions ad nauseum.
