Can Egyptians do it?

No.  They saw it as a win.

They just wondered why it took them so much effort TO win.

It'd be like in Manchest United won against a League One team but only scored 1 goal.

Questions have to be answered.

For someone who wants the President gone you sure seem quick to buy into some silly nationalist propaganda that just about anyone could see is false.

Agreed.

But honest question: If you're really against the idea of 'Pyhrric victories' (or whatever they call them), then I'd assume you believe that The Battle of Bunker Hill was not a victory for the colonialists in any way, correct?

I'm not really against the Idea of a Pyhrric Victory.  I don't see how it would apply.  Israel won the war, and wasn't any more worse off for it.

Though, yeah.  Bunker Hill was a Victory by the British.  Or at least that's how it was taught here.   A Pyhrric victory.

Egypt won some battles, but they weren't really Pyhrric victories.  They didn't lose the war because of those battles.
