#2 One thousand troops.

I will make a prediction. Half of this much-vaunted one thousand will stay aboard a ship "just out of range". Of the rest, the few that are not headquarters or non-combat support will be confined to heavily fortified and bunkered installations.

And they will still take casualties.

#4 Wonder how many of them were in Iraq and would like a little practice on Hez. How many of them learned their lesson in Iraq about what we're facing?

They represent al-Andalus, they get it.

It'll take them that long to get there because they'll have to stop and apologize to everyone along the way.
