[AGL] troops ready, but israel bets on air power

Agreed, Jon. One must remember what the mainstream press would have us

soldiers. Obviously Hizbollah found the right button to push, but the 
Israelis don't have to destroy Lebanon to wreak their revenge. This 
stinks to high hell!                   twisty
