LOL! And what was the strategy behind spending three days punching and chipping holes in Yasar Arafat's compound with construction equipment. And then the Israelis turn around and leave. Hehehe..... That was about the weakest damn thing I have ever witnessed.....

Word is that all their gear was rented by the week and they had to turn it back in to avoid forfeiting their deposit.

Yes, but it is interesting to read what the article has to say about that:

Officials and military commanders agreed that the U.S. war in Iraq overshadowed the 1967 Israeli victory over four Arab countries, including Iraq. They said the United States sustained about 100 casualties in three weeks of fighting that resulted in the capture of Baghdad and most Iraqi cities. In contrast, about 600 Israeli soldiers were killed in the six days of the 1967 war
