Well, don't we overestimate the Russkies? I mean, we accomplished in Afghanistan with a few thousand men what they couldn't with 80,000; and their hostage rescue needs a little work.

Our troops are without a doubt some of the finest in the world. But watch out for the Russians who have suffered far too many tragedies from terrorists without effective responses.

Oh, I'm sure they will be brutal and, in their own heavy-handed way, efficient. But since the Russkies wear chain-mail gloves, what happens when they "take the gloves off?'
