When the largest and strongest army in the Middle East clashes for more than two weeks with 50 Hezbollah fighters in Bint Jbail and does not bring them to their knees, the commanders are left with no choice but to point to the number of dead fighters the enemy has left behind. It can be assumed that Bint Jbail will turn into a symbol of the second Lebanon war. For the Hezbollah fighters it will be remembered as their Stalingrad, and for us it will be a painful reminder of the IDF's defeat....but they don't make 'em the way they used to anyway. And while I'm not familiar with the author of this piece his position on the Lebanon affair is by no means a lonely one. It's clear from reading the Israeli press that the Israelis themselves are a whole lot less thrilled by its outcome than DOOFUS is. Or claims to be.
