Southack I have read and admired many of your posts but the most charitable thing I can say now is that this is not up to your standard. Why do strain at a gnat and swallow the whole camel?

I fully agree with Southack's assessment in Post 82.

As I noted in my Post 87, Nathan, things are seldom as they seem to be during war, especially in the middle of a battle.

It seems, Nathan, that you are bound and determined to declare defeat in the Battle of Fallujah right here and now.

Since we will never convince each other, let us bookmark this thread in a "tickler" folder, meet back here on 30 May, 2004 and we can then see who was right and who was wrong.

I have bookmarked the thread. See you next month so we can determine who gets "I told you so" bragging rights.

Agreed, fair enough.
