The failure of Israel's air war?

From the World Tribune it seems that Israel's airforce/military chiefs have been surprised by the failure of their aerial bombardment to halt Lebanese resistance.

Israel's new chief of staff, an air force general, believed that most of Israel's future operations would be conducted from the air.

Military leaders were convinced that with superior communications and air power they did not even need new U.S. "bunker buster" munitions to root out terror leaders in underground hideaways.

Today, this vision of air power as a panacea has been shattered.

Lt. Gen. Dan Halutz and his advisers have been stunned by the failure of Israel's air war against Hizbullah, which has shrugged massive air bombings on its headquarters in Beirut to maintain the rocket war against the Jewish state.

This makes the post below this one, about new American arms supplies to Israel, all the more apposite.
