As Moshe Dayan once remarked, on being praised for his success in the Yom Kippur and 7 Days' wars:
'I just did my duty. Of course, it helps if one can arrange to fight Arabs.'
makes one wonder why they start so many wars ... the prophecy by God in Genesis regarding Ishmael and his descendents has certainly come true ...
Is it not incredible that with all of the oil wealth the middle east has, with all of the military hardware they have purchased, that they seem incapable of fielding a credible military?
I heard on the radio this mornign that the Russians are excited about the outcome of the war. They think countries all over the world that purchased Soviet equipment will now see that it is hopelessly outdated and buy up to date Russian equipment.
Once bitten, twice shy? Naaaah!
