I also asked for a list of victories the Brit had over the Axis before
"Pearl Harbor" I was given one Defensive Victory, when I was thinking
offensive victories .
I'm still waiting to be remind of ONE SINGLE offensive victory from the
time England declared war on Germany and the time of Pearl Harbor
(12/7/41)

I don't know very much about the war in the Pacific, but, how long after
Pearl Harbour was it before America had a victory against the Japanese?


Know what? I'm still waiting.

The British had the Merlin Engine during that time. They had radar
during that time also (used very successfully in the DEFENSE of Britain)
As I said I'm still waiting to hear about a battle that was started by
the British against Germany that gained back any territory from the Axis
powers before Dec, 7th, 1941.

Why? Britian wasn't ready to start an offensive war. Britian had
de-militarised during the thirties, and started the war with antiquated, and
poorly maintained equipment.





So, what I content, that before you give the Ha Ha to anyone else about
their mentality it would do well to examine your own

You failed with your Austrian with a name starting with an A. I'm
reminding you that we had to take care of it FOR YOU. We'll take care
of Arnie. We have the Smarts-----You DIDN'T

That sounds just a little bit like gloating. The reality is that you have
a vast country with huge natural resources. If you have the Smarts, then
why is GWB your leader?



AND "I'LL DRINK TO THAT!!"

Your "A" pushed you out of Europe with his smarts. The Yanks SMART got
you back. I do believe there is a real need for youse guys to WISE UP
G

The current Yank approach is anything but Smart. Bush is bombing the wrong
targets, for the wrong reasons. He is creating more terrorism.

Afghanistan is a mess, once again a major exporter of heroin, and women are
not really any better off than they were under the Taliban.


Iraq is a mess, and Bush is now begging for international help.

Donal,

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

What in the world would make you ask a question like that?

OT

Donal,

The battle of Britain was more than a victory of Air power. It stopped
the German operation " Sea Lion" from ever getting started.

OT

I'm talking about a "Male Queen"

That's what I was referring to by "other type" donchaknow...

What would the US have built without being given the design of the
supercharged merlin engine?

The jet engine. (And don't bother telling me about Frank Whittle. He
wrote his papers about it long before the war, and the Americans were
already working on it. Besides, the Germans were already working on
it.)

What about radar?

The atomic bomb.

The Battle of Britian comes to mind. If the British had lost, then the
outcome of the American war with Japan could have turned out very
differently.

Why? Would we have had to destroy more cities with atomic weapons?
