"Even if there were fatalities among the hostages, the fact that the Russians took over the theater and stopped the terrorists from any kind of success is a win in the favor of antiterrorism tactics."

Okay look...for the "A win is a win" crowd please save the speech.

I am a former member of FAST Company and a very interested observer in Russia's MOUT/CQB tactics and I have a kneejerk desire to critique based on casualties as well as body counts. That is the bottomline in Hostage Rescue.

I welcome any comments from former SpecFor operators or MOUT/CQB trainers....but short of that I'm not very interested in unqualified remarks.

Get back to me when you have comments on
how to fight terrorism outside the rules of
the Marquis of Queensbury, will you?

Sorry I don't qualify, and I don't play one on TV. However I do have spec. ops. friend with 23 years experience and a special forces husband. Seems to me time is best served on this forum sharing information and educating fellow conservatives instead of alienating people who selected a different occupation that did you. Suit yourself.
