DELUSIONS OF ISRAELI MILITARY GRANDEUR

Thank goodness that Wolcott is a real writer, and not a piker like I am.  He has an excellent post comparing analyses of the Israeli/Hezbollah conflict from the point of view of the reality-based community and the crazy-based one.  The best part is that I don't have to read their crazy shit.  I can just read his quotes of the best bits:

"The trick for the Israelis it seems, is keeping Hezbollah in the right frame of mind. Keep them thinking that they might just beat the Israelis this time. Keep them right up next to the border.

"Oh what heroes we will be for fighting the Zionists.
Come a little closer now...
"Oh how we will be praised in the capitals of Islam
Come on…
"We’ve got them on the run Ali, we only need to push them a little bit harder
Come on sucker, just a little bit more…

"Then SNAP! The Israeli trap is slammed shut like the worlds biggest rat trap."

I would like to note that I am jealous that the original author, Varifrank, is cunning enough to compare a trap to a trap.
