  The irony here is,  that the statement nassar is saying,  that they will fight street by street,  village by village, etc is quite similar to the statement Churchill made during the battle of Britain in world war two

  My goodness, even though I lived in Egypt at the time I did not realize how humiliated was Anthony Eden through this misadventure in Egypt. A man with this stupidity deserved what he got<br>This is a good and objective documentary, well done BBC.

  Eden has to be a classic example of a person rising to the level of their incompetence

  I was disappointed not to hear one word about the Greek pilots who at their entirety stayed in Egypt and assisted the Egyptian trainees to keep the canal open to navigation. The only foreign pilots who remained were the Greeks. I find it shameful that at least the Egyptians who talked in this video did not pay even lip service to those to whom they owe the success of their action. The children of those Greek pilots are still here and all of us who lived those days of 1956 in Port Said, will always remember and honor them.

  In war always follow the money. After Suez the British pound was replaced by the US Dollar as the world reserve currency..the petrodollar is still with us now despite it becoming a fiat currency in 71.<br>BTW had to go and spew when I saw Blair lying in this. He’s so transparent now, but at the time..! I don’t know how he did it.
