It's not a war right now, it's a siege
(And besides, War is still a matter of gaining Hearts and Minds):

Blu has HD surrounded and massively outgunned in a way they didn't a year ago--And now we're just sitting around waiting two months for Mandate Day to take away their two tactical advantages, and five months for the January CES '08 cavalry to ride in with reinforcements (with highly believable mainstream tech-press writing national third-party Convention reports about how starved and beaten HD now appeared with licensees).

HD seems to believe it's a siege, too, and that they're Davey Crockett holding off the Mexican army at the Alamo--
Which would be correct, seeing as, IIRC...Crockett & co. LOST.
