The difference is only a few yards, there are no signs saying 'you
are entering Spain' nor is there a demarcating fence at the place
they were practicing landing on a beach.

Isn't that like saying "A little pregnant" or "The bullet *almost*

pieces of real estate...it's something about territorial integrity,
something Washington seems to be painfully unaware of.
