This has to be an Onion News piece. Unfortunately, it’s not.

A study of the 2006 Israeli-Hezbollah war commissioned by the United States Air Force and to be published this month concludes that Israel’s use of air power was of diminishing value as the fight dragged on because it was used without enough discrimination…

By bombing too many targets of questionable importance for its aims, and not explaining why it bombed what it did, Israel lost the war for public opinion, according to the author of the study, William M. Arkin, an expert in assessing bomb damage. “Israel bombed too much and bombed the wrong targets, falling back upon cookie-cutter conventional targeting in attacking traditional military objects,” Mr. Arkin wrote. “Individual elements of each target group might have been justified, but Israel also undertook an intentionally punishing and destructive air campaign against the people and government of Lebanon.”

Does William Arkin ring a bell for you? It should. He’s an anti-war, far-left author for the Washington Post, who said our troops should be grateful they’re still supported by the American people, are living in “obscene amenities” in Iraq, and said they are mercenaries. He earned his own Vent on Hot Air, hundreds of attacks in his own comment section, and a wrath that is arguably one of the largest the blogosphere’s produced. He works for Greenpeace, the Institute for Policy Studies (an affiliate of International ANSWER), Natural Resources Defense Council, and Human Rights Watch.

Yeah, good man for the Air Force to rely on an important report from.
