Underdogs play 'dirty'

ARTICLE: Offering Video, Israel Answers Critics on War, By GREG MYRE, New York Times, December 5, 2006

ARTICLE: U.S. Troops in Iraq Shifting to Advisory Roles, By THOM SHANKER and EDWARD WONG, New York Times, December 5, 2006

Israel's accusation reminds me of the apochryphal conversation years after the Vietnam War where the U.S. officer brags to his Vietnamese counterpart that America never lost a battle in Vietnam and the Vietnamese equivalent agrees, noting that that fact was completely irrelevant to the war's outcome.

I mean, of course Hezbollah played "dirty." That's what underdogs do.

Recent news stories indicate Israel is rethinking tactics and training following Lebanon. This is good.

Also good to see the U.S. Army finally making the embedded advisory effort more prominent.
