With their assistance you lock down the country, make strategic attacks on Hezbollah sites, divide them from their allies, and crush the loose ends. Isolate, divide, and conquer. If you pay close attention you'll see that this is exactly Israel is allowing Hezbollah to do. Hezbollah is uniting their allies while dividing their enemies. They're provoking their enemy to attack them where they're strong and using those attacks to strengthen their weaknesses. In short, Hezbollah has turned Israel's military might against it while using their foolhardy attacks to their advantage. It's almost as if the world's great militaries have focused so long on blowing up buildings with fewer and fewer bombs, that they've forgotten how to fight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:212437 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
