Its entirely a semantic issue, and one where no real new arguments are coming up, which is why I didn't reply to John's last post on it. John's point is apparently that if the whole conflict has a lot of people in it, that you have "major military operations". My point is that in the term "major military operations", major, modified operations, so if you don't have a major operation, it doesn't matter how many small operations you have, you don't have any "major operations", so you don't have "major military operations". The issue behind the conversation is Bush's comment from years ago that "major military operations have ended". For a time they did end. And while occasionally they may have restarted (Fallujah) his statement was correct. Which doesn't mean that people might not have gotten the impression that Bush meant "the war is all but over" when he said "major military operations have ended". Its even possible that he meant to give them that impression, but his words didn't have that meaning.
