"The pressure is going to be unrelenting"

I agree, and it has been pretty tough on them from day 1. The news pessimists bug me when they say "why is it taking so long?"

I have been extremely impressed (and proud) of our military response and execution since the beginning. Don't mind the press being critical IF there is something to be critical about, but the prognosticating on how badly we are doing or how slowly we are moving is bothersome. Many have been stating that we would not be able to succeed without massive ground forces (if we even succeed at all).

It is either a combination of pessimism and lack of confidence in America or sub consciously wanting us to lose.
