"Americans did nothing, just sat on their hands and watched Israel get its ass kicked."

Wow, that is just not credible. On the contrary, America refused to stop Israeli bombing of Lebanon, even though most were non-military targets, resulting in enormous destruction of civilian infrastructure and innocent lives. That's the refusal I remember, despite the tearful pleadings of Siniora.

Re: Israel was supposed to win easily in Lebanon. When it didn’t, the neocon/Israeli Plan II was to have the Americans enter to assist Israel, preferably by attacking Syria on the pretense that Hezbollah’s missiles were coming from Syria.

I've already debunked the Israel-Hezbollah summer war (2006) as a phoney war. It's quite ludicrous to claim that Israel --the Middle East's most powerful military-- ever needed "help" from the US to fight Hezbollah, a rag-tag guerrilla outfit... Hezbollah/Lebanon was merely the pawn Israel had to lose/sacrifice in her geopolitical gambit against Iran:
