Hizbullah Officer: We Would Have Given Up If Not for Cease-Fire
"The cease-fire acted as a life jacket for the organization [at the end of the Second Lebanon War]," a Hizbullah officer said in an interview...
The officer said Hizbullah gunmen would have surrendered if the fighting last summer had continued for another ten days. He said the gunmen had been running low on food and water and faced rapidly diminishing arms supplies.

Maybe true. Maybe not. Maybe just trying to rub salt in wounds, or to goad them back into battle. The world would surely be a different place, if the words "what might have been" were never needed to be uttered again.
True, but it is nonetheless troubling that Israel left Lebanon without their 2 kidnapped soldiers in hand. My fear is that that was the only chance of getting them back, when the international community was invested in Israel's departure. Olmert should have refuesed to leave until they were returned breathing.
In that respect, it's a good point. That may have been the best opportunity, but I hope not.
