I am glad you thought my post is consummated with humor. The unfortunate part, there is no winner in wars. Everyone loose. Hezbollah were not lucky during the war, they were well prepared. They have acquired the necessary weapons to stand up to your tanks. They have missiles to reach Occupied Palestine. They were capable to maintain maneuverable command structures even after the Israeli thought they had destroyed their command headquarter. As for the Syrian, sweetie, if you are old enough, they Israel flew their Aircraft over Syria in 1973 to test the Syrians air defense system; the Syrians did not fire one single shot. The Israeli felt safe and stated the Arabs will be sleeping for the next thousand years, to their surprise the Arab faired well in the war in the face of all odds. They did not have the Help of the United States with unlimited supply of weaponry. Please don?t say they had the Russian. I never trusted the Russian in the past, now or in the future. Oleg, never underestimate your enemies. Remember, the Israeli don?t have the best intelligence they once had. The like of Eli Cohen who was hanged in Syria will never be replaced.
