Like I said, they make Rumsfeld look vaguely competent. And he is way better than they are at coming up with vaguely plausible inane excuses.

While I didn't follow the Israeli statements closely, I doubt that they were promising a quick, complete, and transformative victory.
And their reasons for not carrying out a massive ground war -- to avoid tens of thousands of dead civilians -- strike me as better than Rummy's reason for not putting in enough troops ("There's no need! we will be greeted as liberators!")
