The Long Haul

Israel appears to mean business, in the sense that this action against Hezbollah and Hamas in southern Lebanon isn't a short-term deal. Former IDF officer and frequent contributor to the Hugh Hewitt radio program, Yoni Tidi had interesting comments to make in his appearance on yesterday's program.

Yoni has apparently heard from personal sources inside Israel that the IDF has activated infantry and air force reserves. You don't do that unless you plan to be engaged for quite some time.

This was confirmed by the Jerusalem Post in the late afternoon.

Will they go the distance to Damascus and get to the root of the problem? Should they?
