You missed the point.

Agreeing to a truce, at least one that didn't include a return of the soldiers, was itself a sign of strategic indecisiveness. You go to war, you don't achieve your aims and you also don't try hard and long but fail to achieve your aims, you just give up after a few weeks of bombing and right at the very beginning of any large ground invasion. That's total indecisiveness. If you planed to stop trying after such a short time than you never should have tried in the first place. If you changed your mind in such a short time (and not as the result of a massive military defeat that rendered you unable to continue the effort) than you have expressed the type of indecisiveness that would make you unable to effectively wage war against any but pathetically weak or timid opponents.

Hopefully this problem is mostly limit to Olmert and perhaps his cabinet. If it is more wide spread it is a severe problem for Israel.

Despite that undeserved advantage, the Israelis failed.

No advantage involved. Taking the 10 day limit was a major disadvantage. No limit wouldn't be an advantage just the normal condition of waging a war.
