But they really did the best they could at the time against Maury with the resources they had (a lot less than now). And let's face it, this negotiation is about to drag on a lot longer than that one did considering we aren't even in mediation yet. Yet nobody seems pi$sed at him for that and you still hear people taking the names of the "previous administration" key players in vain. Funny how the victors get to tell history.
