I wasnt referring to you specifically AC. I just find this whole line of reasoning completely ridiculous.

U.S. Army officers in the badland deserts of northwest Iraq, near the Syrian border, say they don't have enough troops to hold the ground they take from insurgents in this transit point for weapons, money and foreign fighters.

From last October to the end of April, there were about 400 soldiers from the 25th Infantry Division patrolling the northwest region, which covers about 10,000 square miles.

"Resources are everything in combat ... there's no way 400 people can cover that much ground," said Maj. John Wilwerding, of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, which is responsible for the northwest tract that includes Tal Afar.

The people who got us into this mess could at least call on people to fill the ranks, but I guess that wouldn't be good for the PR game. After all, it would clash with the theme that the insurgency is "desperate".

Way to support the troops fuckers.
