Senior military intelligence officer: Hezbollah has already rebuilt its force

[Doondoo]

Head of the research division at the Military Intelligence Corps told the Knesset on Monday that the Hezbollah militant group has managed to rebuild its military wing to match its force prior to the war in Lebanon this summer.

Speaking at a meeting of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Brigadier General Yossi Baidatz said his report is based on fact, not on estimates. But Defense Minister Amir Peretz, who attended the meeting also, corrected Baidatz saying the report does not pertain to actual military force but to the potential for acquiring military capabilities.

Some committee members expressed their beguilement at the contradiction between the intelligence officer and the defense minister.

1. Who goes first? Olmert or Peretz? That's the question. nt

2. Another question worth thinking about ...

Who replaces them?

3. A very good question.

Maybe somebody new? Someone that is not just a corrupt political hack? I'm glad I don't have to decide. Trying to figure out who to vote for here in the good old USA is depressing enough.
