One thing I learned yesterday that I am sure won't be talked about today is that for every brave soldier we lose in Iraq we take out ten terrorists. Good number there.

It's not so good when you acknowledge they have a recruiting base of one billion people. And if you assume that half this country is Democrat (if they even care enough to vote), you're reduced to an American population base to recruit our soldiers from of under 100 million.

So we have to kill ten of them for every soldier we lose just to keep even.

Demographics on this aren't so good for us.

True, but we are annihilating them 10:1 in a rather PC/asymmetrical warfare mode. Take off the gloves and the real numbers of what we really could do, would destroy their enthusiasm real quick.
