This article is nothing but a glowing, triumphalistic eulogy to Mr Habis al-Majali. It makes countless claims which are not sustained by any references! I have included a few "citation needed" tags but it is not enough. I feel the whole article has to be re-written - or at least heavily edited - in order to present a more balance view.
Since I do not have time to undertake such a project it should at least be labelled as a disputed article..
For example the attempted Syrian invasion of Jordan in September 1970 (in the sub-section "In the Stability of Jordan) was not repulsed by Majalis himself but by the Israeli air-force which threatened the Syrians (although it did not actually bomb them) and forced them to withdraw.
This happened during a civil war, by the way, so Majalis was not "crushing a revolt" and the Palestinian were subsequently massacred in what became known as Black September. All these facts are omitted from the article.

This article is absolutely insane. No one ever captured Ariel Sharon. He was badly wounded, but walked off the battlefield. In 1948, this guy was just a flunky for British officers. Scott Adler 02:12, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
