3. Last few days it looked like the IDF was going to get serious on the
ground. New general and more troops. However tonight I saw a link from the J-post that the pols were going to give the diplomats one more chance. Faux was carrying a similar story.

Clearly bombing Hezbollah into submission was not working, so a ground war was called for. Hopefully the cookie pushers (diplomats) can get something going soon to minimize any further bloodshed. However the basic calculus is clear, unless the rockets stop, Israel won't either.

From a military position, Israel is right about a 3 day pause being used by Hezbollah to resupply. Nasarallah has also called for all Arabs to leave Haifa. Somehow I don't think he is interested in stopping either.
