Actually I think the battle of Qadesh was more of a draw than a Hittite victory. Ramses the Great did call it a victory and it is probably true that he almost lost but fought his way back to a dignified withdrawal.
Scribes described Ramesses II's great victory over the Hittites at Qadesh in Syria… even though the Hittites won. Was this the oldest case of spin-doctoring?:') Ramesses II (who was quite young at the time) was suckered into thinking that his adversary was far off, when in fact he was close by and ready to strike with numerical superiority. Ramesses II took part of his army farther toward his objective, hoping to grab it before the enemy could get near, then learned his mistake and (apparently) sent back for the rest of the army to hurry up. The enemy struck, and Ramesses II cut his way out aboard his chariot, reached the other half of his army, and beat a retreat while the other half was slaughtered. There's a nice video discussion about this on that Empires: Egypt disk (PBS I think), in which Kent Weeks describes it pretty accurately, but with some sensitivity toward Zowie's nutty praise of Ramesses II.
