Blogs of War

This was recorded early in 2006 but I’m reposting it because Silvestre Reyes needs study material.

This is a chilling speech. It’s filled with the usual hatred but also illuminating comments about the nature of modern warfare and the weaknesses they’ve exposed in the West. What they don’t realize is that there’s a limit. The West appears weak and divided now, and it is in many ways, but I have faith that things will change. It’s just going to get a hell of a lot uglier first.

Their weapons will be of no avail to them. Their nuclear weapons will be of no use to them. They thought that they had hegemony over the region with their nuclear weapons, but suddenly Pakistan popped up with Islamic nuclear weapons, and they are afraid of Iran and several Arab countries have some chemical weapons.

Israel has begun to sense that its superiority has come to an end. Its army, which has superior conventional weapons – the air force, the armored corps, and the missiles – there are no longer wars in which these are used.

The Arabs have said: We don’t want [conventional] wars, thank you very much. Leave the war to the peoples. Today, the Israeli weapons are of no use against the peoples. We have imposed a new equation in the war. In this equation, our tools are stronger. That is why we will defeat them, Allah willing.

Update:
Michelle Malkin has compiled study material as well.
