Now how to cut your losses short
Time is fast is running out for any further option for ??Cast Lead?? latest as in another 12 days the US administration will be headed by its new President Barak Obama who?s political position to the present Gaza action war is still unknown. -
In the meantime clear warning shots from Lebanese territory into Nahariya slightly wounding 2 persons plus others being treated for shock.
By the best interpretation of present state and chances of ??Cast Lead?? can avoid to read the writing on the wall - that under these circumstances Israel?s political and military action of freedom nearly has nearly disappeared and we will have to agree to not too favorable ( for us ) armistice agreements, which even may curtail our possible reactions to further attacks.
Here the situation is comparable to the last days of the Second Lebanon War, where Israel was faced with a situation of not having achieved its projected goals and the last assault / trial to rectify this situation caused Israel heavy losses of life. ? Under these circumstances is really difficult for the present ??leadership?? / caretaker government to reach an acceptable political / military compromise. A political and even tragic decision on the eve of Israel?s forthcoming Knesset elections on February 20, 2009 may be needed despite hopes for political internal gains disappeared and as some European media expressed it ??Israel has lost the heart?? irrespective of still possible minor political gains. |
