Thread Name: BS: Is Hezbollah Winning?
Subject: RE: BS: Is Hezbollah Winning?
Last night's Charlie Rose had Richard Holbrooke and Bill Kristol on. Most interesting. Holbrooke was impressive, as was Rose himself. I've never seen him that combative before.

Holbrooke, by the way, says that the hostilities are only temporarily stopped, that instead of a ceasefire, they have a cessation only.

As for "the two IDF soldiers who were kidnapped were actually across the border in Lebanon at the time of their capture" both Kristol and Holbrooke said that the Hezbollah no longer make that claim; instead they are saying that the soldiers were "in the vicinity" of the border.
