guilty of incompetence lack of vision and strategy.Yes,Halutz was the wrong Chief of Satff and should have been sidelined as soon as the situation was getting bogged down in July 2006. Something similar happenned in Yom Kipur War.When Egyptian and Syrian kept on streaming across IDF lines on Suez and Golan, Ramatkal,Elazar "Dado" despite his past records was sidelined.Pikud Darom Commander,Gonen,was replaced with Bar Lev.Arik Sharon took over in effect the central section of Suez Canal Front and crossed the canal and cut off the Egyptians Forces East of the Canal.
Nothing similar happenned last summer.Moshe Yaalon should have been summoned to replace Halutz as soon as IDF northern forces were paralyzed into inaction and Hezbollah continued Katyusha firing at Gali and Haifa.
To bring back Yaalon and sideline Halutz was not done by either Peretz (DM) nor Olmert.Rest of the government ministers were klumnings also.Mofaz removed Yaalon as Ramatkal on 3rd year so he was a political foe. |
