This is why I keep saying "Fog of War." Israel Calls Up 30,000 Reserves By Captain Ed on Israel and Palestinians Israel has made it clear that they will not soon scale down their attacks in southern Lebanon. The IDF called up 30,000 troops for training in the fight against Hezbollah: "Israel's government on Thursday called up at least 30,000 troops to begin training for duty in the offensive against Hezbollah, and Lebanese officials estimated a civilian death toll as high as 600 with fighting in its third week. .... The high-level conference in Rome ended Wednesday with most European leaders urging an immediate cease-fire but the United States willing to give Israel more time to punish Hezbollah and ensure an international peacekeeping force for south Lebanon. "We received yesterday at the Rome conference permission from the world .... to continue the operation, this war, until Hezbollah won't be located in Lebanon and until it is disarmed," Israeli Justice Minister Haim Ramon told Israel's Army Radio. "Everyone understands that a victory for Hezbollah is a victory for world terror," said Ramon, believed to be close to Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert." One of the guests on Hugh Hewitt's show yesterday said that Israel had only mobilized 0.3% of its military forces for this war. Israel apparently wants to add to that capability in a hurry. That appears to give credence to the general prediction that Israel will invade souhern Lebanon in force in the near term, possibly in advance of an international peacekeeping force. Nasrallah had better buckle up, because it will be a bumpy ride.
