Do I have that about right?

Thanks, Tom, glad to see you're prepared to have a reasonable discussion of national strategy.

        Yes. And Patton's gains had nothing to do with anything. - Bowser - 9/6/2006 9:24:44 PM
        
        No. By treaty Poland (to use one example) was to be an independant country. - alcaray - 9/6/2006 10:22:30 PM
