"I will be back in 7 days and I will list 5 metrics for us to look at:
1. Hezbollah will remain intact and all their rocket losses will have been replaced by Iran and Syria
2. The IDF will be gone from Lebanon or will be no more than a few miles in in some useless buffer zone
3. The 2 soldiers will either not be released or will have been swapped for hundreds of hb prisoners
4. Hassan Nasrallah and the HB leadership will still be breathing and will be free men
5. A ceasefire will be in effect
I contend that all 5 of those will happen.
We'll see what it looks like in a week. [ More gloom. -ed. ] "
