It's a 1.5% yield MQ is happy with it (though I think irrationally). A cease-fire now would establish it as the only credible fighting force against Israel in the region and reposition it politically. Always Hizbullah's aim - big PR campaign.

There is nothing else Hezbollah can achieve with further fighting. Therefore a cease-fire offer makes perfect sense. Also, a cease-fire offer coming from Hezbollah is a signal to the "international community" to increase pressure on Israel to stop fighting. And if they don't, they'll look "bad". Stratfor, imo, is generally a pretty thoughtful outfit. Sometimes they may get carried away, but they are still much better than most - who often chatter without even trying to gain real insight.
