What probably didn't get much press in the Arab world is that Zarqawi and his
friends were
klutzy in handling the weapon. Probably too much for him and for them.
yeah, what a klutz.
that's probably why he only has 130,000 US soliders tied down.
Eric, you're making the same mistake that Bush made. Lawrence made the same mistake this
evening when he sneered at the Iranian military.
it's a collosal mistake.
an army doesn't need advanced weapons to defeat another army. or, put another way, advanced
weapons in themselves don't win battles.
the USA has the most sophisticated weapons systems in the world, and yet it is bogged down
in Iraq, unable to win or do much of anything except survive day by day in its
heavily-fortified camps.
a highly determined army, with ingenuity and resourcefulness, can defeat a much larger,
well-equiped army that has lost its will. over and over, this has happened in history.
al-Qaeda is probably no more than 50 men holed up in a cave with just a handful of supplies,
and yet they can cause tremendous havoc. with nothing more than a few 50-cent boxcutters,
they devastated NYC.
