In general, it’s a good idea for a commander in chief to listen to his generals. From Dave DeCamp at antiwar.com:
One reason why they want a ceasefire is to prepare for war in Lebanon
Israel’s top generals want a ceasefire in Gaza even if it keeps Hamas in power, putting them at odds with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, The New York Times reported on Wednesday.
The report, which cited current and former security officials, said one reason Israel’s top brass favored a pause in Gaza was so that the Israeli military could recuperate to prepare for a full-blown war against Hezbollah in Lebanon
They also believe a ceasefire in Gaza could reduce tensions on the Israel-Lebanon border and make it easier to reach a deal with Lebanon, although Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has previously said a pause in Gaza would be an escalation in Lebanon.
Herr Adolf can tell you about that better listen to the trained in WAR generals. (rimshot)
Oh wait, he can’t.
Is there some losses of men and material that we don’t know about? (wink)
So tired of hearing about other countries, it has grown stale and tiresome. (H/T-Dieter From Sprockets)
