12. i can recall one specific goal that was mentioned...
to "change the game".....in other words the gaza attack was a nothing more than a gamble to change to status quo and clarify israeli responses as no longer "limited"

beyond that one of the wiser statements i heard was that.....the consequences will be felt later, long after the tanks have left, and no one can predict what they will actually be.
