Personal to some in the Israeli government that is, like: Ehud Olmert and his wife being <a href="http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/751456.html" rel="nofollow">investigated</a> over a property deal in which they scored a house at 8 Cremieux Street, Jerusalem for well under market value. Justice Minister Haim Ramon being <a href="http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/751816.html" rel="nofollow">charged</a> with indecently assaulting a fe3male employee on the very day the war started - talk about not focussing on the important things, no wonder it all turned out so badly! And of course there is the ongoing scandal of the IDF chief lining his pockets with mucho shekels literally moments before giving the order to begin the war crimes. The overnight attack may have been a diversion in the literal sense and one they may want to keep at least simmering if not boiling over.

What also scares them is that Iran have promised unlimited funds for the reconstruction, which in turn will increase Hezbollah's standing in the region. Finally, there is 10 billion worh of construction, and not only will no American contractors see a penny of it, Hezbollah will do it very efficiently.

The notion that Hezbollah may gain support by helping rebuild the south should be completely dismissed given that Hezbollah would have gained a ton more support from the destruction of the south to begin with (not to mention america's green light to do so) America is having a whinge about a situation it should take a large part of the responsibility for.
