Just dropped in, haven't been here in ages. Been away from home, and busy keeping track of things in my area. Just some guys and gals with MA's in ME studies getting it wrong The report came from TTIC, which is an administration creation headed by administration appointees. Of course those appointees didn't actually compile the figures, having much more important things to do, but they didn't check them, either, which is what they are supposed to do. Quite amazing that a report like that could slip through, and be held up publicly as evidence of victory, with nobody bothering to confirm it. "Hey, it looks good, it must be right". Your predictions about the continuation of the "Infatida" didn't hold up, did they? Where did I predict that it would be continuous? It will go away, and come back, and get knocked down again, and come back again, and provide abundant and lasting opportunities for extremists on both sides to make a mess. It's not an opportunity they are likely to pass up, based on prior performance. Would you really say it's over? Would anybody? I note that Fallujah is still pretty much in the hands of the bad guys, and that public celebration over American corpses remains the order of the day. I guess we really taught 'em a lesson. The "insurgency" is still, ultimately, a sideshow. The time to look forward to is when an election becomes imminent. Then, and only then, do we see how complicated the "installation" of democracy really is.
