EHUD BARAK--SEVEN YEARS AGO THIS MONTH. Israel Matzav (via Soccer Dad) posts an article written by Jeff Jacoby written seven years ago following Israel's retreat from Lebanon led by Ehud Barak:

"Israel's presence in Lebanon tied its hands to some extent," he [Barak] declared on Thursday. "But from now on, there are no limits on a tough Israeli response to all aggression against it." The day before, he boasted that the troops had departed Lebanon "without a scratch." This, he said, "is a happy day."

"No limits on a tough Israeli response to all aggression against it"--isn't that what was said about the Disengagement from Gaza?

Ehud is now running second in the Labor party primary race.
Happy day indeed.
