It explores the "victory" that Hezbollah won in Lebanon. If Krauthammer is correct, the victory was a grim one. He starts off by noting the same, lame apology by Nasrallah about his misjudgment in starting the war. I said it was an admission that Hezbollah had been hurt a lot more than people realized. Krauthammer takes it further. So much for the "strategic and historic victory" Nasrallah had claimed less than two weeks earlier. What real victor declares that, had he known, he would not have started the war that ended in triumph? [...] [...] Charles Krauthammer has an interesting piece up in the Washington Post.

What turns my stomach is that you do not see he admitted this to save his ass and defuse a political situation. So presumably you prefer that.
