With Hezbollah's CAC Crippled Not The Time For Diplomacy
Dr. Aaron Lerner 18 September 2024

There's a binder on a shelf.

A "playbook" which includes thousands of Hezbollah pagers detonating.

I can accept the possibility that prior to this Tuesday it was assumed that
the detonation of the pagers would take place within the context of a
different scenario.

But there's another binder on the shelf with a playbook which we have been
constantly practicing and updating.

The operation to take out Hezbollah's long and medium range rockets and
guided missiles.

So here we are.

With a golden window of opportunity as Hezbollah's command and control is
seriously crippled.

I am writing these words after midnight.

And I wonder: will we pull that second binder off the shelf tonight or hand
over our destiny to Hezbollah by waiting for a retaliatory strike?

Will Binyamin Netanyahu opt to go down in history as a "profile in courage"
or "profile of a perpetual can kicker"?
