I think that Olmert underestimated the CNN factor, and didn't handle it as well as he should have. The vision of those poor unfortunate and often Hysterical Lebanese women and the vessels rushing to evacuate foreign nationals, and the weeping and wailing as they got off the planes was surely not something that he could have forseen. The sobbing women and children, talking about frail grandmothers stuck in the middle of the bombing in Lebanon was a masterpiece of Hezbollah strategy.... When Stephen harper was faced with Lebanese Evacuees screaming at him in Montreal where he is trying to get votes must have been very difficult to maintain a position of Israel was right..... I think the lack of coverage of events in Israel, coupled with the 2 million evacuees so that Israel did not have the body count that Lebanon had and CNN's obvious Liberal Bias made a great deal of difference in how Israel attacked Lebanon. And that is Olmert's downfall. I think Israel also failed to make proper use of the doctored photos, and mismanaged the use of the press. The press should have been positioned within yards of where the missiles were landing, or as close to the launch sites as possible. The press should never have been given access to the military, since CNN made it seem as if the soldiers were being muzzled, instead of being told to keep quiet because hezbollah was watching.
