I did not know they were defeated by a handful of ignorant savages in
Basra

Well the British were certainly defeated by someone in Basra and in
Helmand - someone that the US was able to deal with well enough.  Who
do you think did it?

I was not aware they were defeated at all. All I knew was the overall
was a success. We can kill all the Muslims we want, but Clinton
didn't want them to do so. Ken Hogan
