He is in reality simply stating a military fact, that nine times out of ten, in a matchup between a guerilla force and a regular army, unless the regular army is prepared to lay waste to an entire population and country, the guerilla force will win. This truism has been born out in the past, in such guerilla conflicts as the American Revolution, the Vietnam War, the War in Iraq, and now this conflict in Lebenon.

Geopolitical locations don't mean a damn to guerilla forces, neither do most normal conventions of war. As long as they are supplied, mobile and have the spirit, the guerilla force will win almost every time.

This is why the current conflicts in the ME are foolish. Both the US and Israel are going to lose, badly.
