actually, wasn't there a 'rescue operation' that failed miserably? that
looks like a response to me, even if the outcome is not what you might

I've looked for the quote in the past - no luck.
Someone in the Israeli government, maybe Moshe Dayan:
'A Superpower should never mount a rescue operation with only six
helicopters.'
