The line between debate and insult is always blurred is it not.
I see the running away icon is taking precedence over the wink one.
Neither stop the poster from looking like an arse.

Since I think I may be the only one using that emoticon in this thread.. are you having a go at me Ben and accusing me of insults?
If so, just have the courage of your convictions to say so...

There were a lot of ifs and buts for that to work. The remaining shells had to miss, they had to run out, they had to miss the mines, etc, etc. Too many factors to guarantee success.......thats why I said the military maxim. Churchy was a gambler........and it was with others lives that he done it.

*Quote* For all that the naval attempts had failed the Turkish defenders had run critically short of ammunition. Liman von Sanders, the German officer appointed in March to take charge of defensive operations, suspected that a follow-up attack by the Allies might well succeed. He was consequently elated once realisation dawned that no follow-up assault was forthcoming.

I do not agree that there were too many factors against them
If you only went into a battle that was Guaranteed, as you put it, you would not fight many battles. No battle can have a guarantee.
I feel it unfair to condemn a man on the grounds his plan did not work, when the plan was never carried through is unfair
The enemy states that they might have succeed, he did not say they might not have, that to me is very telling, and for that reason I give the benefit of the doubt.
I guess we will never see eye to eye on this one Dave

Well, what I have noted is that you demand explanations from others and when you are pressed to explain your inane comments you shrink into your cocoon and accuse everyone else of bullying and harassment.
So perhaps you might stop your snivelling and concentrate your efforts instead on making a contribution.

It is called the politicians pit, and is full of bulls suffering from dysentery. Even so, there must be a very special place for him.But the thing is Nola, certain parties un-named were hoodwinked into voting for him once.And so a special place in hell is reserved for him

OK if you must buy the book, what ever you do do not read it....and consider just giving the full price of the book to Help the Heroes.
