Sternjaeger if you are willing to agree with this bit now:

then why all the arguing and defensiveness in the last 40-odd pages?! (edit: 50-odd pages. Cant keep track of this thread  ) |
I thought that by now we agreed that the attempt was half-hearted?
As for the agreeing, the fact that the UK
can call something a victory doesn't mean that it
actually was one. So as much as I do understand why in Britain it's perceived as a victory, doesn't change the
facts of the conflict.
