#1 They're always advancing on Brega.

#2 Indeed, to advance is to move the discourse. There are infinite ways to advance on Brega. Brega is only a construct made important by maps and the alphabet. We will always be advancing on Brega.

#3 Sort of like Montgomery "turning" on Caen.

#4 Eh, Montgomery was "turning on Caen" as a cover for having failed to, you know, break out at Caen like his people planned in the first place. The problem with the advancing on Brega business is that they keep claiming to have taken Brega, and then a week later, it's "advancing on Brega" again. I've noticed the same thing in the west with "al Asabiyah", which is basically a wide spot in the road to Garyan. At least Brega is an actual strategic goal of value in itself...

#5 I was going to say...

Montgomery had a devil of a time with Caen.
