Glick: Hamas Marches to Victory

Middle East expert and internationally renown journalist Caroline Glick believes that Hamas is marching to victory and that the Israeli government is allowing it.

Writing in the Jewish World Review, Glick stated the following:

What the media have declined to notice is that the outcome of the war will not be determined by the number of Hamas buildings the IAF destroys. The outcome of this war -- like the outcome of all wars - will be determined by one factor only: Which side will achieve the goals it set out for itself at the outset of the conflict and which side will concede its goals?

Depressingly, the current machinations of the Olmert-Livni-Barak government demonstrate that when the fighting is over, Hamas and not Israel will be able to declare that it accomplished its goals in this war.

In other words, Glick believes that the current Israeli government is making the very same mistake that was made in 2006 at the end of the Second Lebanon War. Thus, since the government has already decided to lose, then risking lives by a ground assault is futile and stupid.
