During the 6 day war Jordan attacked north to Israel with 500 tanks then 400 tanks then 300 tanks then 200 on day 6 all the Syrian tank crews were riding on the one remaining tank heading south , the problem was simple math , the Israeli Tanks guns fired an AT round 1000 yards further than the Jordan Tanks .

Too bad the Empire didn't have the Centurion at Dunkirk , Crete the Balkans , Singapore and all places in between , but what the hell when you can fire a shell a thousand yards further than your enemy there is bound to be a problem the Syrians never did figure it out .

The Syrians are still trying to figure out what end of the scimitar to hold.

As we speak the U.S. is still trying to figure out which side in Syria to support and Egypt is not going to get the F-16s until they behave .

The Israelis also made pre-emptive strikes in the 6-day war.

No, that was the Yom Kippur War of 1973.

No, that was the Yom Kippur War of 1973. Yom Kippur, the Arabs attacked first; in the 6-Day War, the Israelis attacked first.

As I recall, Golda Meir would not allow a preemptive strike during the Yom Kippur war.

I'm sure that armor commander must have been thinking what the bloody hell when his tanks were exploding all around him .

I think she was a native of Tennessee! She was considered one of the more pretty ones.

As I understand the Yom Kippur War, the Arabs kept massing troops again and again, until the Israelis thought they were crying wolf. Then, during Yom Kippur, they attacked. Again, as I understand it, they knew Israel was here to stay, but they wanted a victory (of sorts) before they could negotiate some sort of peace with their enemy.

The ONLY peace the muslims want is 100% of every square yard of Israel. And as they said the other day, NOT ONE Israeli will be allowed inside it.
Forget all this BS about a "2 state solution", will not happen, simply because the muslims will NEVER accept it.
