Then: Nasser was posturing, he had 60,000 troops in Yemen fighting his `real` war, he was shocked when Israel attacked him, Egyptian army didn`t even fight, they ran home, syria and Jordan were even less prepared.
Now: Hezbollah and Hamas are ready. Syria is digging in to defend itself. Iran is preparing. If dragged into it, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan all have current military hardware given to them from the United States.
The next time Israel attacks, it will be faced with an incredibly complex force against it, and a group of targets that it will not be able to beat.
In response to Israel`s attack, rockets will land on Israel, maybe just 5 or 10 a day, for months while Israel`s economy crumbles. Israel will lash out with great force to try and stop the rockets, to no avail. It will not be able to use nukes, for fear that Pakistan will destabilize, and the extremists that take over there may strike back `for their muslim brothers.`
Peace talks must happen now. |
