Caution?

Danger Room does some reporting on changed tactics because of Lebanon which confirms for me that they learned nothing other than to suppress the reporting of what they are doing.

Anyone who paid minimal attention to Israeli targeting in the Lebanon attack knows full well that they made almost no effort to avoid civilian casualties, because their definition of a combatant includes almost everyone.

The problem was they just weren’t as good as they had been. They haven’t had a real war in decades, and they still believe they can win with “shock and awe” from the skies.

I’m an Air Force supporter, and I don’t think you can win with air power alone. It didn’t work against Britain, so why assume it will work against anyone else. The record shows that it is most effective after your ground army has proved its ability to take and hold territory. If a country’s army is still able to put up a credible offense, the civilian population will not lose hope.

The Hedgemony is apparently preparing to ship more ammo to Israel, if they can get the funding. It is past time to say no. We don’t have the money to support this stupidity.

On a personal note, if you have ever had interaction with UN operations you would know that if Hamas had attempted to use those UN schools for anything, the UN would have been yelling instantly. The UN is obsessive with the neutrality of its refugee program and they will generate paperwork over the most minor of infractions in their rules, including carrying a weapon because you are couriering classified and you need to use their bathroom.

I don’t doubt that a board of inquiry into the recent friendly fire incident will show that Hamas was using those Israeli soldiers as a shield to attack Israeli soldiers.
