It was in fact, simply saying the best men for the job were chosen, comparatively speaking. Yes, agreed, there were many top-down questionable decisions made that day.

Sigi, my take on this statement is that things turned into a shitstorm when the Rangers went in, if the UN had tried it it wouldv'e been far worse. I had to read it more than once myself :)
