150 odd dead Israelis, many hundreds more dead Lebanese, a country in absolute ruins and for what? Absolutely nothing. WHY OH WHY didn't Israel do this at the very beginning? It was inevitable that they weren't gonna get their troops back, weren't gonna defeat Hezbollah and were going to eventually have to negotiate with the captors. What a waste of life and infrastructure. They make me sick they really do.
The logistical reasoning for their maneuvering is completely sound. The impacts they have made upon the foundations and conditions of Hezbollah at current standing, was, from the Israeli standpoint (and mine, were I them), completely encompassing of all that is sensical.
