The US and Israel had planned for this war weeks before..
According to Sy Hersch, the US and Isreael had been making plans for an attack on Lebanon weeks before the July 12th start.

There had been border skirmishes between Hezbellah and Israel for years.. The plan was to wait for the next one by Hezbellah, and use that for an all out attack on Lebanon. They had hoped the attacks would have brought Syria, the Iran into the war... but again the assholes miscalculated!

2. Hersch continues to be psychic.
Anonymous sources and introspection are the surest bets to understanding somebody's heart and mind.

4. They certainly have been proven accurate in the past...
Abu Graib, My Lai, etc. I have no reason to doubt his sources continue to be impeccable.

3. Prime Minister Olmert is a damnable fool (Or should I say "tool"?)
If he is removed as PM, it's his own damn fault for fooling with the PNAC crowd.
