Don’t think that we’re passing this on because we agree with it. We’re passing it on because we agree with it and it also coincidentally happens to be true:
Not that this will help Olmert. Israelis may have a short memory, but they’re about to get a pretty abrupt reminder in the form of the impending full Winograd report. Plus, he’s kind of wrong about Hezbollah losing the will to overrun the Jewish state. Off all human frailties, self-doubt is not one that fanatics are particularly well-known for. And he’s definitely wrong that Israelis are sad, at least if you believe things like “numbers”. But he’s definitely right that Hezbollah’s leaders are not exactly national Lebanese heroes, and that they’re well aware of the shadow cast by Israeli intelligence. And those aren’t small things.
Then again, maybe Hezbollah is preoccupied with the whole What If Syria Invaded Lebanon and Nobody Cared party that’s being thrown right now. Isn’t the UN supposed to be monitoring that border that border for weapons transfers? Doesn’t it still count as a weapons transfer if the tank crosses the border with the Syrian soldier inside of it?
