I think all of us need to relax a little and not expect a one-week total victory with no casualties. Anyone who expected such is living in a fantasy land.

To use a football analogy, we're ahead 28-2 in the first quarter. Unfortunately, the other team's fans (media, commies, arabs) are concentrating on the safety they managed to score and our own fans are disheartened that we made an error that yielded points to the other team. Instead of going nuts and getting defensive, we should be chanting "scoreboard!"

Unless we take on casualties on the scale of 9-11, I wouldn't listen to media hand-wringing about military "setbacks".
