Seems we have learned out lessons in Iraq.
We do proxie combat with support.
We do not tell the 5th Column democrats so they can't betray us.
We do not advise the MSM so they can notify the enemy (remember when clinton's staffers TOLD the MSM where troops would be landing on the beach so reporters would be there to get the good photo op?)
I think the full lesson here is the only good enemy in the WOT is a dead enemy in the WOT.
