drones an plane bombing runs are fine. but the missing link for israel is soviet style of land rockets to terrorize lebanese much as nasrollah does to israel. idf has resisted this form of warfare. it is a matter of survival. the other side cannot be spared. they have to be targeted.

in order for the soviets to have defeated the nazis, they specifically targeted the german civilian population to break their will to suppiort the nazis.

israel has turned the other cheek. it will continue doing poorly unless it changes how it fights.

as for intelligence, israel is also getting stronger. stop your bloody whining and develop plans to destroy enemies. stop with your bandaids every few years.

bibi has been a disaster for war planning along wiht olmert and livni.if he had any self respect, he would step down and open up a leadership race between bennett, saar and barkat. feiglin will have his chance as well.
