Just because Israel didn't finish the job in two days doesn't mean they're losing. This is not some small gorilla group, this is a division of the Iranian military. Israel is five miles into Lebanon, the Hezbollah command centers are all destroyed, as well as most of they're long range rockets. Hassan Nasrallah has ordered all his senior commanders to go into hiding and stop talking to the press. They lost everything. They no longer have Lebanon and it's not likely they'll be able to set up there again when this is over. As for the PR war it backfired. Yes plenty of people are still calling Israel murderers but as the dust is settling people are seeing the truth, they sacrifice their own women and children for PR. This makes them look bad.
AP: Hizbullah, which translates as "the party of God," is actually "the party of the devil," said Sheik Safar al-Hawali, whose radical views made the al-Qaida leader one of his followers in the past.
