Stalingrad Revisited: Our Goals are near, says Israeli PM


As I recall, our German generals also said "Our Goals are Near", but it just was not true at the time, and the rest is history. Those who do not learn from history are forced to repeat it! Please click on the headline for the complete story, by the British "Guardian" newspaper!
"Israel is close to achieving the goal it set for itself" Ehud Olmert told his cabinet in Jerusalem, though he gave no indication that the campaign was drawing to an end!
As I recall, our old Fuehrer said about the same thing, after the Wehrmacht was bogged down in Stalingrad.
"Patience, determination and effort are still needed to realize these goals in a manner that will change the security situation in the south," Olmert said. Earlier, the leader of Hamas warned that Israel's offensive in Gaza had ended any chance for broader peace negotiations with the Palestinians!
