We have all the time left in the world to stave off defeat. Since we have to fight, well at least the two of us agree we have to fight, it would be nice to go for victory. We wait.
I don't believe we disagree on the need for victory.
What we seem to have a disagreement about is whether the tactics now being used are designed to achieve that victory.
I believe they are.
Killing 1,000 jihadis 2, 3, 20 and 30 at a time by snipers and ambushes within a city that is now completely sealed off by a 5 foot high berm over a period of 6 to 8 weeks will not be as dramatic as the storming of Berlin by the Red Army but it will leave the jihadis just as dead.
