The Winograd report that blames the Israeli government for serious failures during the Second Lebanon War is being viewed by Hizballah as proof they were victorious.
“The Winograd report stressed that Hezbollah was victorious and that Israel is beatable,” a senior spokesman for the Iranian-backed group told the organization’s Al-Manar television channel.
Nawaf Musawi, head of international relations for Hezbollah, called the war a “divine victory” against Israel. He said that the report proves that senior Israeli officials had underestimated Hezbollah’s power, adding that “no one will take us lightly from now on, especially since we have only gained strength of late.”
The Winograd report has political implications in Lebanon other than giving Hezbollah a weapon to use against the present government.
Musawi said that the report contradicts Beirut officials who claimed that the war had hurt Lebanon and was not won by Hezbollah. “They say that Hezbollah didn’t win and that Israel didn’t lose. So maybe they also think there is no need for this report?”
The Olmert government’s most serious mistake was not smashing these barbarians more thoroughly when they had the chance; instead they caved in to international pressure, media subversion, and United Nations malfeasance, and ended the war before it was truly finished.
Now UN “peacekeepers” are presiding over a massive build-up of Hizballah weaponry, doing nothing to prevent it as always.
Does anyone doubt that there’s going to be another war?
