Had we not pulled out, would that have insured us against these so called limited wars? <br>2. Is a tactical victory possible in these conditions? I mean, the report itself states that the damage caused to the enemy is in no doubt greater than that caused to our own… What would have been considered a tactical victory?<br>3. Will we really learn about our deficiencies? I've been hearing about many lessons learnt in the army itself since last summer. Yet, I can seriously debate the extent to which any of these treat any of our real deficiencies. I've not yet seen any real development in our conceptualization of threat and response. I hate to say it, but… we're not learning half as much as we think we are. And this self conviction has always been our chief deficiency. <br>Oh well, at least there's more to watch on TV.</p>zoolishTue, 01 May 2007 05:11:32 -0000http://www.rogelsview.com/in-the-news/reading-the-partial-report/#comment-1354661<p>Well, we have to keep the coin under the street light :)<br>I don't know if this report is holding THE answer but it has very important observations and insights (at least as far as I got already).</p><p>Here are two points I was thinking about while reading the report:<br>1. Would we not pull out of Lebanon, in 2000, what would be the price (in casualties and economic damage)? Can we compare it to a limited war every few years?<br>2. Would we learn more or less about the deficiencies of Israel national security concepts (or lack of) would we achieve tactical victory?</p>RogelMon, 30 Apr 2007 20:28:04 -0000http://www.rogelsview.com/in-the-news/reading-the-partial-report/#comment-1354660<p>You know… I keep getting reminded of a saying about health… It goes something like this: "Be careful reading health books. You might die of a misprint".<br>These reports are indeed important, and this one too should be read and learnt. That said - I have a gut feeling that this one isn't the answer to our problem. Non of them are...</p>zoolishMon, 30 Apr 2007 16:30:30 -0000
