You are reading it the wrong way. Calling so many reservists costs us (Israel) money, lots of money. Israel will needs them for a short period to make sure that the enemy is not tempted to break the cease fire. See also my post Another opinion is that Israel are using the Turkish method. A few years ago, Syria did not restrain the Kurdish gurrila attacks coming from Syria into Turkey. Turkey called up 50,000 reserves and deployed them accross the Syrian broder. The problem was solved in a week. No shot was even fired.

Just adding ot the drama, of Condi’s arrival in the ME.

She can walk in and say: If we don’t come to an agreement quickly, it may be too late. The Israelis are providng the dogs of war and making sure that everyone hears them barking, for emphasis.

I’ll be heart broken if they actually make a solid invasion into Lebanon. No way they go without US support, which is the way the Lebanese people will see it.
