1. The military has a term for it: Pushback

We kicked their butts in Iraq.

They are thinking we moved assets from Afganistan to Iraq to accomplish it, indeed if they read the media in the US they would be convinced we have sacrificed war assets in Afganistan to win in Iraq.

Any war commander would do the same thing as is happening in Afganistan now; go on an offensive to determine if the theory of moving assets is correct and our forces in Afganistan are in fact weakened.

The US Soldier's job in Afganistan, including the 3,000 Marines we just sent there, is to prove to them we have sufficient assets in Afganistan and even elsewhere to continue kicking their butts no matter what they throw at them.

God Bless the United States Marines, the United States Army, and every soldier in this battle.

This is just another phase in the war.

Gee, I can't believe I am actually sounding like a war hawk. I am not but I know a lot of soldiers that are in this fight and they want to win and they tell me we are.
