Today’s report: “ ‘The cease-fire acted as a life-jacket for the organization [at the end of the Second Lebanon War],’ “ a Hizbullah officer said in an interview…”
In the interview, the unnamed officer said Hizbullah gunmen would have surrendered if the fighting last summer had continued for another 10 days.
His statement sharply contrasted with those made by Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah on several occasions since the monthlong war. …the organization's gunmen had been running low on food and water and facing rapidly diminishing arms supplies.
The officer also said that many Hizbullah commanders were ordered to hide before the war started, and that the gunmen who remained were forced to fire Katyusha rockets from inside urban populations because of the IDF's efficiency in destroying launchers minutes after a launch had been detected.
He said that when the gunmen relocated to cities and villages, they knew innocent civilians would be hurt as a consequence.

The ceasefires saved the Chicoms as well.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, in our "avoid placing actual blame for actual foulups at all cost" society, we cannot single out the morons who supported the cease fire (or anything else that was proven moronic afterwards) and tell them now to shut up, resign, go away forever. SO the same morons who are responsible for the continuing messes in the ME and the rest of the world still get to sit at the table where they can make even more stupid decisions without fear of rebuke for failure. And the MSM will still treat them like their opinions matter.
