"Again I say, no one expected the kind of response that Israel gave and that includes Hezbollah. No one knew of course that Israel was planning a large attack against Lebanon."

That Israel HAD such an attack planned, waiting for a pretext was obvious. That they had planned so POORLY and had such bad intel about Hezbollah's capabilities was what was shocking.

How could the Mossad have missed the 13000 rockets Hezbollah had smuggled in and all the anti-tank missiles, etc., in a country they had invaded before, right on their border? That's an intel failure that ranks above the missing WMD's in Iraq. Heads should and probably WILL roll in Israel.

It also speaks of the discipline of Hezbollah.
