The end goal of the Israelis and most of the tards in Washington on both sides of the aisle is that the Lebanese army will fight a war with Hezbollah and keep them too distracted to harass Israel. Let's see what their official mission is:
The first mission of the Army is to defend the nation's borders against any external attack. The most important works and activities performed by the Army in the frame of its defense mission are:
Constant readiness to face the Israeli enemy and to promptly confront its attacks and aggressions with all available means.
Preserving the stability of the regions at the southern borders and protecting them from saboteurs as well as supporting the resistance of the citizens in their villages.
Cooperation and coordination with the UNIFIL with the aim of implementing resolution 1701 and this includes dealing with the Israeli violations and performing joint military maneuvers with the aim of raising the level of preparedness and readiness to face any emergency.
Resuming the demarcation of the Blue Line after it was distorted due to the aggression of July 2006. The demarcation is entrusted to a specialized committee including Army personnel and another committee formed by the International Force.
Monitoring the Lebanese regional waters, confronting Israeli violations and observing the activities of the Israeli enemy in terms of prohibiting Israeli forces from launching aggressions against Lebanese oil resources inside the Lebanese regional waters.
Fighting terrorist organizations at the eastern and northern borders. In this regard, the Army has managed to drive away these organizations and besieged them throughout the border, thus the Army forces were able to guarantee the security of villages and towns adjacent to the border.
Can anybody tell me what the pattern is here? Anybody? Anybody at all?
We're going to war with no national interests involved and this is our exit strategy. That these people secretly want to fight for Israel or something.

There's this bizarre fantasy that's implied but never said directly, that the army is made up of Christians who hate Muslims and love Israel. That has never been true and it never will be true.
Anyway, if anyone wants to brainstorm, is there any conceivable outcome of this war that isn't a disaster for the US or is a win for Israel?
