"buffer zone" also known as worst excuse ever.

Israel: We just want a "buffer zone" to push Hezbollah out of rocket range, honest.

Kathryn Cramer: ... from last night's bombing of Afula, I exptrapolated Hezbollah's new bombing reach in Google Earth (with a little help from Photoshop), assuming Hezbollah are shooting their rockets from south Lebanon.

Gee, looks like they only have to take over 80% of Lebanon to create a buffer zone. I'm going to guess that the live ammunition training on the border of Lebanon, that has been going on over the past MONTH was a mere coincidence.
