At this rate, we would have won World War II just around now.
Pokistan still off limits?
Count on the AP not to report who won. :)
I am laughing at our treasonous media.
Had GWBush still be in office, this “battle” (a months long campaign) would have been one of the most frequently covered and analyzed stories, every week, since it started. Under Obama it has been a non-event in the media.
When the Marja campaign started, it was understood that it was just a preliminary step to the real target of the surge - Kandahar - which is huge compared to Marjah and still plagued with Taliban violence.
The length of time the Marjah part of the campaign has taken shows the Kandahar region very likely cannot be pacified before the surge numbers are supposed to be cut back, by Obama’s timetable.
The media would not be glossing over these events, for what they are not accomplishing, were it not the Obama admin.
