The best description in all these decades is due to premature ejaculation. The planning is never complete. In the first Gulf War, they executed their combat roles well and engagement were planned by the Coalition leaders. In the old days, the number of camels and personal courage and valour was all that was needed in tribal conflicts. One lost on numbers. Imagine Egypt has the largest population in the Middle East and the Arab World and many times more than the Israels. After the last war, the realised that numbers can't do it - weapons, strategy and tactics. Imagine the entire Egyptian 3rd Army surrounded and without Kissinger stepping in it would have been a massacre and the Israeli have never let a massacre or two stop them.
