back to the war on terror; terrorists rearm for round two in lebanon:

Hizballah’s missile threat to Israel has reverted to its pre-Lebanon War level

January 16, 2007, 3:58 PM (GMT+02:00)

This was affirmed by Israeli ex-general Dan Shomron who undertook a high-level probe into failings in the way Israel managed the July-Aug 2006 Lebanon war.

In his report to the Knesset foreign affairs and security committee Tuesday, Jan. 16, Shomron criticized as a serious blunder the decision by prime minister Ehud Olmert and foreign minister Tzipi Livni to relegate to UNIFIL and the Lebanese army the task of preventing Hizballah’s rearmament.

The ex-general also found that the chief of staff Dan Halutz and the general command had no clear objective in their conduct of the war. Even when the prime minister finally ordered the IDF to put a stop to the 33-day rocket barrage against northern Israel, the IDF failed to heed the directive.
