Enough Hizbullah Fish in the Net?

I thought Varifrank was spot on when I read this post over the weekend:

“Why is it that stories coming from Israel this week are so damn pessimistic”?..................“Why would any government be interested in sending a message of their own weakness at the beginning of a shooting war”?..............

Well, you do it because you want the enemy to commit. You want the enemy to be in the best place for you to deal with them, not in a place where they can defend or they can retreat from................


Given the developments today:

Israel Resumes Air Strikes & Widens Ground Offensive

Syria Readies Troops

(could we be so fortunate to take out Hizbullah & Syria in one battle?)


Hizbullah Has Few Rocket Launchers Left

That along with the destruction of Bint Jbail, seems to add up to some serious damage for Hizbullah. I think the Israelis played up Hizbullah to get as many of the terrorists inside the net and get as much of their assets inside the net. The IDF is has just begun the final swipe that very well could cripple Hizullah if enough of the fish are inside the net........................................

Like Varifrank however, I don't think we have seen the start of the final military maneuver until a massive troop force heads out from Israel into southern Lebanon..........

I posted a few post down the damage I think we will see from the Mosad and the IDF once this all over, and it's going to look a lot like the Highway of Death from the first Iraq war..................................
