"Taken to its ultimate, this guy is advocating fighting without engaging enemy forces, the dangers of which are now apparent, the elements of undefeated enemy live to fight another day, another place."

I think you are referring to the Iraqis who are know behind our front lines and fighting. How long do you think they can maintain fighting without a good line of communication and with follow up units holding the land they are on?

If they have weapons, they can live off the land, and inflict disproportionate casualties for a long time. That is the nature of asymetric guerrilla warfare.
