Donal,

The "Battle of Britain" was a very glorious defence battle! England took
one hell of a beating and kept on Ticking but it was a defensive action.

What's the difference between a defensive and an offensive battle?

England didn't take one hell of a beating, they defeated the Germans in the
battle for air supremacy.





El Al in North Africa was also a great defensive victory. I had in mind
offensive actions against the Axis powers by the British from the time
of "Peace in our Time" until 12/7/41.

You must remember that England and France declared war on Germany. That
was when Poland was invaded and went on the defense until the USA
invaded Casablanca.

Now, Donal, I've just responded to comments about the election of an
Austrian being elected Gov. of Calif. and the comment by a American
Baiter's comparison to Adolf. I just wanted to remind him of his own
history of the Hitler years.

Are you suggesting that there was something for the British to be ashamed
of?


It seems that the baiters don't like to be
reminded of their own history in the same kind of comments they make





I, myself, think Arnold just might be the right man at the right time
for Calif.


The political cartoonists are having a field day all over the world


I'm an American who believe we won the war for the Europeans,

So you think that the Russians didn't need to bother losing 10 (or was it
20?) million soldiers in their battles against Hitler??


won the
war in the Pacific for the people that were colonies of the European
Countries that were deserted by their homelands, an American taxpayer
who helped refianced the world thru the Marshall plan and Truman
Doctrine, a follower GWB, who didn't vote for him but is my President (
Just for another year, I hope!)

Do you still believe that GWB told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth about Iraq?



Regards


Donal
