But we went in with a clear timetable, with a clear objective, to take back what was taken from us, and actually achieved our objectives.
I am not so much comparing , but contrasting the british way of fighting a war with American attitudes to war as shown in Veitnam, Afghanistan and other places- no clear timetable, no clear objectives, no clear defence of national interests - more in Vietnam than eelsewhere, but still a factor, and no, we didn't lose the Falklands campaign.
in the war we are fighting at present , it seems to me that Blair involved us to cozy up to Bush - but Blair is no great Statesman. There is no clear exit strategy , no clear way of knowing how, if and when we are winning and will have won the 'war on terror' he has dragged us into.
