Strikes Are Part of Broad U.S. / Israel Strategy

Israel, with U.S. support, intends to resist calls for a cease-fire and continue a longer-term strategy of punishing Hezbollah, which is likely to include several weeks of precision bombing in Lebanon, according to senior Israeli and U.S. officials.
For Israel, the goal is to eliminate Hezbollah as a security threat -- or altogether, the sources said. A senior Israeli official confirmed that Hezbollah leader Hasan Nasrallah is a target, on the calculation that the Shiite movement would be far less dynamic without him.
For the United States, the broader goal is to strangle the axis of Hezbollah, Hamas, Syria and Iran, which the Bush administration believes is pooling resources to change the strategic playing field in the Middle East, U.S. officials say.

CCNWON editor's note:
Israel's assault has goals subordinate to striking Iran (by itself or by the U.S.). American diplomatic efforts have been wiped out. Syria will not do a Libya and come in from the cold, Arab states will not sign free trade agreements such as Qatar did, Iran will not settle the nuclear issue with the U.S.. Another goal is to overthrow the Lebanese government tand install a puppet regime. Stealing water is in the plans as well(Littel river). The Cheney faction benefits by the US moves to protect elite oil interests in the region and keeping the Arab states in flux. The Rice faction is not happy.
