Airpower During the Second Lebanon War

Sorry for not posting a more significant article, but I spent 10 hours on the road today. So not to leave today empty I will provide you with initial questions I plan to answer for my second intelligence analysis series, "Airpower During the Second Lebanon War: Israel's Air Superiority and Future Implication." I would like to invite you to comment with any questions you might like to see answered in this analysis. All I ask is that you have the questions posted within a two week period before the projected date of Spetember 20, 2009.
