"We did not think, even 1 percent, that the capture would lead to a war at this time and of this magnitude. You ask me, if I had known on July 11 ... that the operation would lead to such a war, would I do it? I say no, absolutely not,"
Translation: We should have built up even more weapons and infrastructure before goading the Israelis into giving us an ass-whupping to within an inch of our worthless lives. |
