Oh, wait! I just heard the news it's 55 dead Fedayyeen - 5 wounded soldiers.
Oh yeah, West definitely without a doubt, no questions asked, saved lives! Of Iraqi insurgents!
And meanwhile, during the month of November, more American troops were killed than in any of the previous months since President Bush declared the direct hostilities concluded, and we entered this occupation/ counterinsurgency phase of the campaign.
And why shouldn't Saddam's terrorists continue their attacks? After all, they have Americans like you making sure that other officers won't be taking effective measures against them, and otherwise giving them aid and comfort.

I guess your point is we should just give up now since we lost 78 in November? No really Arch, what are you getting at? I guess that we shouldn't have even bothered to fight back against the ambush yesterday, after all because of this LTC West thing our 4th ID guys' morale is obvoiously broken. I posted the info about the ambush because whiners like you said that the morale of 4th ID would be crushed. Well for a crushed morale those guys kicked the livin crap out of the Fedayeen Saddam!

I had almost forgotten why I offered before to give you a short class on the differences between officer and enlisted. Keep talking trash, you whiner!
