...Pentagon offered to supply Israel with "bunker-buster" bombs, capable of punching deep into the enemy's underground defenses. Israel's air force chief at the time, Lt. Gen. Dan Halutz, - who, as Chief of Staff, is currently commanding Israel's air, sea and land strikes in Lebanon - rejected Washington's offer, claiming that Israel had its own superb weapons. But with the "bunker-busters", says a senior Tel Aviv intelligence source, Israel could have knocked out most of Hizballah's rocket-launchers and possibly brought the war to an early close...
LOST SEASON 2 DOWN THE hatch! What began as a sci-fi Survivor grew into a paranoid detective game and an exploration of the limits of reason and faith. As the castaways find what's inside a bunker (a psych experiment, a doomsday computer and a lot of 1980s furniture), their world expands. Joining them are a priest (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), an ex-cop (Michelle Rodriguez) and scary "Others" who don't like sharing their island. This detail-packed drama is worth watching for the first time, or for the second, with a finger on the PAUSE and REWIND buttons...

Meanwhile, the war continues. The Israelis announced early on that they hoped to assassinate Nasrallah, whom they credit as a clever and potent adversary.

But Israel may eventually regret raising expectations that it will get him. (Ask George Bush about the wisdom of calling for Osama bin Laden's head.) "If Nasrallah...
...Israelis have begun enforcing a rule that anyone in Lebanon within a kilometer of the border will be considered an enemy. They have sent bulldozers across the border to clear away trees, boulders, bunkers and other structures that impede their view into this swath of territory. Maintaining such a buffer zone will theoretically prevent Hizballah from returning to its positions along the frontier, shooting small arms across it, kidnapping more soldiers and easily gathering intelligence on Israeli army movements. But it won't stop the militia from firing rockets from deeper inside Lebanon. Israeli forces have concentrated on tracking...
