DIME?

This is coolbert:

They are talking about some sort of new Israeli weapon on National Public Radio this morning.

A rocket apparently fired from helicopter gunships. Has a devastating effect on lower limbs. The doctors in Gaza have not seen this before. So many amputations required in so short a time. This is a rocket that when explodes goes after legs? Hard to say what it is!

And the news media is most clear about Hezbollah. The "military wing" of Hezbollah is more sophisticated, better trained, more motivated, and better armed than the Lebanese military. Even if the Lebanese army wanted to intervene and stop Hezbollah, they probably could not. Hezbollah represents a very potent state within a state.

Hezbollah IS well prepared for anything the Israeli can throw at them.

Tunnel warfare is being used by Hezbollah for protection from Israeli artillery and airstrikes. Well prepared and numerous fighting complexes guerrilla fighters can emerge from to wreak havoc. NOTHING LESS than a direct hit will get them. Sounds reminiscent of what used to go on in Vietnam.

And Israeli is gun-shy about invading and occupying south Lebanon. Too many bad instances from the eighteen year occupation that ended in the year 2000. Israel DOES NOT want a repetition of what happened before.
