The usual gasbags are coming out of the woodwork declaring that Israel’s losing the current war because it’s not all over yet.

Read this for a quick clue as to why Israel may indeed be losing…. but why it’s WAYYYYY too early for anybody not getting direct briefings to be stepping out with those assessments. 

This blog has stuck to tactical analysis and regional strategic assessments for precisely those reasons. 

We don’t know whether it’s Hezbollah’s cadre getting stacked up, or whether it’s primairly just guys who’ve gotten a rousing speech, a couple hundred rounds, and a slap on the shoulder on their way to die — an organization that consciously gets its civilians killed would think nothing of swelling the ranks with a few Kitchener Brigades (sp?). 

I don’t know.  And neither do any of the talking heads.
