That's funny, I don't draw that conclusion at all, from Bushndick's post.

I consider that he's seriously asking the question: what did Israel actually "win" by escalating this war?

Did they actually do any real serious damage to Hizbollah? Well, yes and no - yes in terms of the infrastructure, no in terms of their popular support.

Did they actually gain anything for Israel? Probably "no", except if we can count the military intelligence that may (or may not) have been gained in the endeavor - which we'll have no view to, until the "next" conflagration.

Israel seems to be asking the same questions - at least, it's serious enough so they've begun an internal investigation into the conduct of the war.

That's serious enough - if you know Israel, my prediction would be that at least one high-level head is going to roll over this one.
