Why do you post the EXACT same response twice to different posts?
Sighhh...well, here it is again:
General Yitshak Rabin, Chief of Staff, Israeli Defence Forces:
a.. "I do not believe that Nasser wanted war. The two divisions which
he sent into Sinai on May 14 would not have been enough to unleash an
offensive against Israel. He knew it and we knew it." (Le Monde,
February 28, 1968 )
With the obvious implication that "if he didn't want war, why did he do
something so bloody stupid?"
What Nasser really wanted was for Israel to roll over and play dead
without a military confrontation. Oops.
