Let's see. Torture only made more enemies. Extraordinary rendition only made enemies even of America's friends. Lying that we are winning "Mission Accomplished" only made "Mission Accomplished" worse. "We are where we are" only got more Americans killed and created a country of 25% refugees. IOW this war has been prosecuted doing what Urbane Guerrilla recommended. As a result, even bin Laden roams free. Urbane Guerrilla does not even call for bin Laden's capture. Everything has happened according to UG's plans.

A shadowy enemy? Of course. When using fictional descriptions of an enemy, it can only exist in shadows and cannot be defeated.

I've said before you couldn't be constructive if somebody gave you a hammer and two hacks of 2x4s, tw. You're running true to form.

Oh, you can tell how many more enemies we've got because we lean on some bad guys -- as either hard numbers or a percentage increase? You must be privy to some remarkably secret information not available to mere mortals then. Let's do the sensible thing and dismiss this contention as unprovable.

Bin Laden is nice to get -- but do you really think the bad guys will quit if we get him? I don't really. For that would be fictional.

And of course, tw, no strategist, isn't coming up with improved strategy, owing to his want of constructiveness.

Urbane Guerrilla says we should not go after the only enemy - bin Laden. Why are Urbane Guerrilla's enemies so shadowy? Because they don't exist. Only insurgents, rising up to take back their country from an invader, are evil? Yes according to Urbane Guerrilla who has all but called for protecting bin Laden from justice.

UG, you were never officer material. You cannot see the bigger picture. They tell you who the bad guy is. You automatically believe without even asking if that bad guy exists. Shadowy enemy. It must exist. Ghosts are hard to kill with bullets.

Casper is evil. Moriarity is evil. Our enemies are hiding everywhere. Only UG can see these enemies?
