gah...

when i said "a few hundred syrian imports" i was clearly saying that was all that was needed to get a huge reaction from the media, not that that was an estimation of the current terrorist resistance.

ok... we all know you don't think the post-war situation has been a success. understood. given the difficulty of our mission: what did you expect? what realistic picture of the situation could you conjure that would be much better than what we've achieved? in this discussion, your opposition to the war's genesis is irrelevant. why do you insist that our operations since then have been disastrous? according to what criteria do you make this judgement?

i don't know will's individual forecast to the post-war scenario... but it seems that anyone who predicted doom and gloom (which was many of you) should at least be pleasantly surprised with the results so far. the world hasn't ended, as predicted by some... yet not much more than constant bitching is heard from people who predicted things would go much worse than they have.
