Rubbish. Entering any area where military operations are conducted, whether for war or training, is called a theatre. entering that area puts you in that theatre.
No shit Sherlock, thats why its called a "theory".
No one claimed it was. But it certainly is entering a theatre of war.
not in the least required for older motors rach
Which consigns to oblivion the efforts of one Winston Churchill.
Perhaps you should do more reading and less blurting.
Which proves my point that it depends on who is doing the reporting, now doesn't it?
you do realize, that some might say with some justification considering the oil politics/embargo's the US was 'forcing' onto Japan.
kind of like 'dragging' an elephant into bed with you.... Surely you must have read 'some' accounts outlining how the white house was itching to get into the war at all cost, almost.
cheers
That's simply a commercial transaction.
NO.
At that time British radar used no US parts. In fact it was Britain that 'gave' the design of the critical resonant cavity magnetron to the USA ! See 'Tizard Mission'. Along with the jet engine too later I might add.
US radars were almost non-existent in 1941. Certainly no airborne ones and I don't think there were any operational naval ones either.
A commercial situation too. In any event, no significant numbers of US planes arrived in the UK until well after Pearl Harbor.
You're suggesting that we needed US leadership. STFU ! Britain had already survived being in the front line for several years before you guys could even drag your lardy asses over here.
I think you need to read up on some honest history.

And you haven't seen even the roads in Bombay - never mind their 'highways' outside of cities.

What ocean ? You don't seem to have a point. I said it needed very few replacement parts. Those parts that were replaced didn't have to come over any oceans. All the important stuff kept working.
Can you not cope with the idea that a European car can run for 16 yrs/180,000 mls and not even need many bits replaced ?

A commercial agreement isn't going to war.
Graham
I'm stating facts.
You have nothing other than speculation. I *know* that Roosevelt was sympathetic but his hands were tied by US opinion.
Graham
You prefer Fox News do you ?
There's little difference in objective reporting *outside* the US.
Fine - stick with your 'gung-ho' attitude and see where it gets you. It's a damn bloody mess.

Heh. Thanks to PA roads, I've got three slightly bent wheels, and the fourth is only unbent because of
Not when done between governments.
As much as you would like to think we hadn't the technology, you would be wrong.
Hardly a commercial situation, given the government was involved on both ends.
At what point was Monty prepared to invade the continent? Clearly you don't see the whole picture. If Churchill was content to allow Ike to lead, perhaps you should realize he had a reason to do so.
I've done a bit of that, clearly more than you have.
lol. what an ignorant f*ck you really are. just a fine example yourself. what a hoot you are pooh bear. lol.
yeah, i imagine i could. why?
It is a mechanical entity, as such it will break, and it will need repair. If it were here, parts for it would cross the Atlantic Ocean. You might be more familiar with it if you looked west a bit farther than your nose.
If you had read my previous posts, you'd know I'm just fine with that bit of supposition on your part, no matter how true it may or may not be.
An agreement between governments isn't a commercial agreement, its a treaty.
(insert either stunned silence because of your ignorance, or hilarity because of same ignorance)
Yeah, sorta like Bush has his hands tied because of public opinion.....
You don't know if you are coming or going, do you?
I agree. And top-posting is a particularly egregious method of abuse.
Yet another assumption on your part. I prefer to look at all points of view and decide where the reality lies given a dose of common sense. As I said, (echo in here or what??) what you call fact depends greatly on who reports the information.
First off, I don't have a gung ho attitude. Second, I never said it was anything but a bloody mess. Third, I think its going better than many would like to believe, and the reports on casualties support this. Fourth, its going better than even I had predicted, although what I figured would happen is indeed happening, even if on a shorter time line. Fifth, don't allow the pompous bullshit you spew delude you into believing that I (an individual who thinks that as wars go this one is going very well) actually agree with our presence in Iraq. As a caveat, I should say that the issue is quite a bit more complex than you seem to be able to comprehend.
