Olmert is lefty, and he either needs to be taken out of office, or buried in a discreet place. Israel will be back in Lebanon. It may be a few months, a couple years or 10 years from now, but she will be going back. And it may be much more painful the next time.

Rant over.
Correct. For Israel to claim victory, it had to destroy Hizbullah. It did not, and could not given the excecution of the offensive. What has happened is that the IDF has lost some of it's luster in the eyes of the Islamists. They will return, enboldened and in greater numbers.
