Hmm, reminds me of a midevil siege strategy, the french pulled such a thing in the 13th century on King Richard's Chateau Gaillard in Normandy, instead of fighting they just isolated them from the supply lines for over 6 months and starved the residents of the already overcrowded castle, since the surrounding townsfolk had taken refuge within its walls

Finally, as enough British dies, the French were able to scale the walls with little or no reisitence

(One of the few successful French military ventures)

Olbermann, believe it or not, calling Kerry's comments one of the worst political statements of all time.

Makes sense, they didn't actually fight...
