Netanyahu calls for Inquiry
According to a piece in the Jerusalem Post Binyamin Netanyahu has called for a commission to find out what mistakes were made and why in the most recent fighting in Lebanon:
Opposition chairman Binyamin Netanyahu called for the formation of a state commission of inquiry on Tuesday to investigate the mistakes of the war in Lebanon.A lot of people in Israel and America were wishing he would have been at the helm during this war and when this inquiry is completed, the Israelis en masse, may realize that Netanyahu is the man who can lead them to victory next time. They can't afford to be bullied by the U.N. or the U.S., for that matter. When they decide to go to war they can no longer accept anything but a clear-cut victory.
Netanyahu made a point of acting statesmanlike during the war and even served as a frequent spokesman for Israel in the foreign press. But he changed his direction Tuesday by criticizing the way the war was handled.
"We have to learn lessons from the war," Netanyahu said in an interview with Channel 2. "With this many inadequacies, there is no choice but to form a state commission of inquiry. If we don't learn lessons, there will be another round [of war] that will not end well for Israel."
