Who said "we may have lost the battle but not the war" ?

[limpsfield]

We are having a discussion in the office about this - I have googled it but as everyone regurgitates it left, right and centre I am struggling to find the originator of this famous quote

Any insight?

The Soviets in COD5?

Which was clearly incorrect, as have your country invaded and then occupied by a foreign power, does indeed constitute "losing the war".

Badly, hummiliatingly "losing the war" in fact.
