israel LOST and Egypt WON

This is to clear any doubts about the Egyptian victory in october 1973 since many of you still question it, here u go:

"It is true that the Israeli forces were able to drive a wedge between our forces in the Sinai and cross over to the western side of the canal where they tried to occupy Ismailia and Suez, which they hoped to be able to use as a bargaining chip in negotiations. The strategy failed, however, because of powerful military and popular resistance. We had devised a plan with which we could have closed the breach with the minimum number of losses. However, before the plan could be put into effect, political activity brought about a disengagement and the withdrawal of Israeli forces to the east of the canal, after which negotiations began at kilometer 101. "
Maj. Gen. [retr'd] Hassan El-Gretli was Chief of Operations during the October War

{the main reason Israel lost in 1973 was not lack of intelligence, but the fact that they viewed Egypt as "a lifeless corpse without a will". }
Haim Herzog, head of Israeli intelligence, later

Golda Meir, Israeli prime minister during the October War
"The Egyptians crossed the Canal and hit our forces in Sinai hard. The Syrians pushed deep into the Golan Heights. We incurred grave losses on both fronts. The agonising question at that time was should we or should we not inform the nation of the truth of our appalling situation?
"I write of the Yom Kippur War not as a military report, but as an intimate disaster or a horrible nightmare that I myself have suffered and which will continue to haunt me for the rest of my life." -- My Life

General Ishio Javitch
"For Israel, the war ultimately ended without our being able to break up the Arab armies, neither Egypt's nor Syria's. We scored no victories. Nor did we succeed in restoring the deterrent power of the Israeli army. If we assess achievements against targets, we will find that the Arabs' victory was the more decisive." -- Symposium on the October War, Jerusalem, 16 September 1974

Ma'areev, 20 September 1998
"The alarm that went off at 1.50 pm on 6 October 1973 was more than a mere alarm cautioning Israeli citizens to go down into their underground shelters. It was, rather, the call that is heard marking the burial of the dead. The deceased was the first Israeli republic. When the war was over, the clock was turned back and a new history began. After 25 years, the pillars of old Israel were no more than a wreck stranded by the side of the road."

Did Egypt win the war by having more of its soldiers killed, wounded, and taken prisoner than Israel? Did Egypt win the war by losing more tanks,APCs, airplanes,helicopters, and missile batteries than Israel? Did Egypt win the war by losing more territory on the west side of the suez canal than they had gained on the east side when the war ended? Did Egypt win the war by having its 3rd Army surrounded in the Desert?

no..

Egypt won by forcing an invading country, surely with strategic plans b4 invading, to give up those plans and retreat. if they were winning, they wouldn't give sinai up and ask for peace, they are the invaders so what sort of peace is there?

Take two doses of reality and see me in the morning.

What possible good does it do to ignore reality and try pretending that something didn't happen just because you would prefer that it didn't? Do the Argentinians show pictures of captured British troops and pretend they won the Falklands? Do Germans pretend they won WWII or British that they won the American revolution?

"Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
