2. counting
The number counting reminds me of Vietnam, anybody else? The insurgents are growing faster than they can kill them.

15K doesn't sound like much, especially considering the numbers of "insurgents" fighting in Iraq started at something like 4K or 6K and recently were revised to estimates of over 100K.

Just like the "75% of the Al Queda leadership"...does the administration really believe we are stupid enough to not realize these positions get filled?

(edit to claify)

4. Keep Digging ......
........ I just know that the hole is going to get smaller.

Insurgents? We invade their country, kill tens of thousands, wound even more,
rape and torture them, and do it under a lie so why are these people insurgents?
More like patriots fighting for their country.

:mad:
