Mistakes were made

Remember that OTHER war on terrorism, the throw down between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006? Well the review is in and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is likely to keep his job, at least until the end of the year if he doesn't launch another war. The Winograd report, released Wednesday, socks the military and civilian leadership for three failings: 1) failing to get back the two kidnapped soldiers, 2) failing to decapitate Hezbollah, and 3) failing to stop the rocket attacks. In Winograd's words, Israel lost the war. Unsurprisingly, the leader of Hezbollah called it a victory for his organization. And despite the 33 IDF deaths, at least Israel waged a war it could afford to lose.
