IRAQ: THE WITHDRAWAL CLOCK IS OFFICIALLY TICKING
Rather amusing to see the lack of history on display. The British did not use Napoleonic tactics during the Armerican Revolution: Buonaparte's time came some 30 years later. The British developed the "indian" tactics, using them with Roger's Rangers in the French and Indian (aka 7 years) War. The Rangers are the lineal ancestor of at least one UK regiment.
The Indians: Most of them won, unless you would count winning as keeping the entire North American Continent in stone age misery. The ones who wanted to do that lost, thank goodness. The Seneca sold their land, for a great price, thanks to Red Jacket and Morris. The Indians in California scraped by until the Casino was invented.
