>>Peretz is talking about creating a buffer zone in Lebanon and the campaign so far looks like a prelude to an invasion.<<

Sorta seems that way to me, too....if their targets are deeply bunkered (ie, the missles in storage), it's kinda hard to get rid of 'em from the air. At some point you gotta go in and clean 'em out. Seems unlikely (from a military point of view) that they'd go to all this trouble to be right back where they started a few months from now......

AFA the Israeli stock market, I think it's up for the same reason the US markets were up after the Iraq "Shock and Awe" campaign, ie, the market believes they will ultimately succeed militarily with no significant damage to Israeli infrastructure.
