#1 "*sigh* Terrorists just aren't what they used to be. So many of the talented ones have been killed or arrested, it appears"

Yeah, we've thinned the herd a lot more than anyone in the media will admit. I remember a span of about 3 days in 2005 where we confirmed over 70 killed by our rockets in Anbar Province, but nobody reported it. They won't admit that we're getting better at countering terror tactics either. Of course, it doesn't help that our military and OGA guys go to war wearing handcuffs while the specter of Congressional Spanish Inquisitions looms over every battle and interrogation.

Thank you for that, Keeney. I needed some good news today, and am very happy to admit yours. Well done to all the herd thinners and tactic counterers!
