Hezbollah Didn't See Them Coming

But they sure enough had dinner ready for them when they got there.

Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah said in a TV interview aired Sunday that he would not have ordered the capture of two Israeli soldiers if he had known it would lead to such a war.

Guerrillas from the Islamic militant group killed three Israeli soldiers and seized two more in a cross-border raid July 12, which sparked 34 days of fighting that ended with a cease-fire on Aug. 14.

"We did not think, even 1 percent, that the capture would lead to a war at this time and of this magnitude. You ask me, if I had known on July 11 ... that the operation would lead to such a war, would I do it? I say no, absolutely not," he said in an interview with Lebanon's New TV station.

I guess both parties learned something in this waste of a war. Hezbollah didn't think Israel would attack. Israel didn't think Hezbollah would have the forces to fight back. What's that saying? "Know thine enemy?" Neither side did.
