Why Arabs Lose Wars

Pretty interesting read, not sure if it had been posted before (search didn't come up with anything) or if anyone else has read this before.

Comments? Thougths?

(pretty long read though ;) )
'Ai! ai!' wailed Legolas. 'A Balrog! A Balrog is come!'
Gimli stared with wide eyes. 'Durin's Bane!' he cried, and letting his axe fall he covered his face.
'A Balrog,' muttered Gandalf. 'Now I understand.' He faltered and leaned heavily on his staff. 'What an evil fortune! And I am already weary.'

"The Arabs lack good leadership."

Well, no shit, sherlock, I could've told you that. The Arabs need real leadership, not fundie desert sheiks with a thousand wives.

I can give you one reason. No offense to the Arab people as a whole but THEIR MILITARY COMMAND HAS THE INTELIGENCE OF A SLUG ON DOPE!

Didn't they entrench tanks and start using them instead of artillery in one of their gang wars against Israel which they lost?

'You're a bully putting on an air of civility while saying that everything western and/or capitalistic must be bad, and a lot of other posters (loomer, Stas Bush, Gandalf) are also going along with it for their own personal reasons (Stas in particular is looking through rose colored glasses)' - Darth Yan

Speaking of Iraq in Desert Storm, didn't several of their most elite officers surrender to one drone helicopter on one occasion?

Yes, they did. Actually, the Left Flank Attack actuallly more problems handling prisoners then destroying the Medina Republican Guard Division.
