I would venture a guess that the Arabs had only guns w/o bayonets

Even if they had them, training in their use, and in countering those used by the enemy, is very unlikely. From all I've read, they can't shoot them worth a hoot, so bayonet training is even less likely. They seem to be best at firing them into the air, preferably one handed. :)

Last night, I just happened to turn on the movie ZULU, which had nothing to do with Iraq. Still I was drawn to the British effective use of the Bayonet. Back in WWII, I recall that item of issue then. It was also a real pig sticker, nothing like the one issued today in length.
