>>I do see the difference. Do you see the military necessity in cutting off lines of retreat and resupply before sending in a ground invasion?

Edit: the limited response scenario you describe, with bombing aimed only at the rocket launchers, and stopping when the Lebanese government requested it - well, been there, done that. Several times in fact. Hizbullah shrugged it off as a cost of doing business, and kept growing stronger.<<

Nadine -

Actually I do see that military necessity, and only for that reason do I see the point of it. Can't figure out why the military necessity of bombing power plants, though. I believe there are going to be a lot of unfortunate repercussions.

BTW, I never suggested that any bombing of rocket launchers should necessarily stop when anybody requested it. It should stop when the rockets stop coming and Hezbollah agrees to stand down.
