Why is everyone convinced the Arabs can't win?

Question

Ussualy what kills hockey teams is arrogance. The US isn't having an easy time in Iraq and they have lost a lot of men and I mean a lot. Terror cels exist in the US and Canada and the UK with an intimate knowledge of our nation(s) suitcase nukes may or may not be "somewhere" and last but not least dirty bombs according to the police aren't that hard to make.
So again why the overwhelming assumption they can't win? And in a case of all out war with US cities hit and I mean a lot harder than 9/11 how would anyone define win vs loose?

One suicide bomber kills 10 people and they are going to run out first? What kind of math is that?

Answer 1

Not every is convinced that the Arabs will lose.

The war began at Hezbollah's time and choosing. Military analysts say that the way the Israel-Hezbollah war has been prosecuted up until Monday, July 24, is more likely to bring Nassrallah closer to his war objectives than Olmert.

When Syria withdrew its troops from Lebanon, Hezbollah could operate freely because of the weak Lebanese secular government. Hezbollah was able to step into the power breach.

The first point to bear in mind is that the crisis did not truly begin with the capture of two Israeli soldiers (Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev) by Hezbollah's Operation True Promise . The kidnappings presented a serious problem for Israel, but could not, by themselves, define the geopolitical issue. That definition came when Hezbollah rockets struck Haifa, Israel's third-largest city, on July 13. There were also claims coming from Hezbollah, and confirmed by Israeli officials, that Hezbollah had missiles available that could reach Tel Aviv. Israel's population is concentrated in the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem corridor and in the Tel Aviv-Haifa corridor. In effect, Hezbollah had attained the ability to strike at the Israeli heartland. Hezbollah has been hitting the northern part of this heartland, as well as pounding Israel's northern frontier

According to reports, Hezbollah forces are dispersed in multiple bunker complexes and are launching rockets from these and other locations. Hezbollah strategy is to draw Israeli troops as deeply into Lebanon as possible, forcing them to fight on extended supply lines. Hezbollah's will tie down the Israelis as long as possible first in the area south of the Litani River and then north in the Bekaa. It can, and will, continue to rocket Haifa from further north. It will inflict casualties and draw the Israelis further north. At a certain point Hezbollah will suddenly abandon the conventional fight, going to ground, and then re-emerge as a guerrilla group, inflicting casualties on the Israelis wearing them down.

In order to destroy Hezbollah's infrastructure, Israeli troops must move into the Bekaa Valley and as far as the southern suburbs of Beirut. Israeli forces have pushed forward from the mountaintop village of Maroun er Ras captured Sunday to the fringes of Bint Jubeil, Hizballah’s south Lebanese capital.

In a military engagement just over the border of Lebanon Israeli soldiers of the Egoz regiment discovered one of the many fortified bunkers holding the large arsenal of missiles currently raining upon Israeli towns in the North. Hezbollah is using Viet Cong-style guerrilla warfare out of hundreds of small bunkers scattered across the country. In addition, Hezbollah borrowed camouflage techniques that the Japanese used in the 1945 Iwo Jima battle. In the first ten days of the war, therefore, the Israeli air force bombed out empty Hizballah premises in South Beirut and Baalbek, but missed the moving woods and vegetation which concealed the rocket launchers.

Hezbollah rockets struck Haifa, Israel's third-largest city, on July 13. On July 17 Hezbollah used an Iran-made radar-guided C-802 shore-to-sea missile of the Silkworm family to disable the Israeli state-of-the-art warship,Ahi-Hanit, which was shelling Beirut airport.

Hezbollah has indicated that it will bombard Tel-Aviv, Israel with 500 missiles. So far, Hezbollah has used Kassam and Ketuysha rockets. It has not used the Zelzal or Fajr missiles, yet which have longer range.

What Hezbollah wants is political power in Lebanon and among the Palestinians, and freedom for action within the context of Syrian-Iranian relations. This war will cost it dearly, but it has been preparing for this for a generation. If it can avoid utter calamity, it will have won -- if not by defeating Israel, then by putting itself first among the anti-Israeli forces. It opposes Israel and is the most effective force fighting it. Hezbollah's job is to survive and hurt Israel and the IDF as long as possible. That is what this war is about for Hezbollah.

Nasrallah has already struck the pose of victor and is dictating terms. Monday, July 24, he handed the Lebanese government a list of the prisoners in Israeli jails whom he wants released as the price for returning the kidnapped Israeli soldiers, Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev. He has not budged an inch from his initial demand for their release: indirect negotiations for a prisoner swap.

The United Nations has called for a ceasefire and wishes to oversee the peace

Answer 2

Because the Arabs way to fight is with suicide bombers and they believe that Muhammad will send them 700 virgin women if they will kill innocent people (even the women suicide bombers). Why they will lose? Because the first one that will run away from hell will tell them all that there is no 700 virgin women only Muhammad is there waiting and laughing at them.

Answer 3

You win when you are not held to choices that terrorists are demanding you make. When you live in freedom of choice, and freedom in general, you are the winner. War here or there- when you are not held hostage by the demands of a few, the winner is clear. Terrorism only works by fear. If you don't make choices in fear they loose!

Answer 4

After 4000 years the arabs haven't figured out you can't f*** with the Jews. Hopefully this time the Jews flatten all opressors.

Answer 5

Because when you use nothing but suicide bomber cowards, you eventually run out of soldiers.

Answer 6

Happy's is the only opinion that is not a Joke.

Answer 7

No one will win.
