Well, things must be looking pretty optimistic if the "quagmire" crowd is saying it'll fall quickly.

I'm still a little worried- where did all the bogies go? I'd rather wipe them all out now than have them regroup and continue a guerilla war while we're trying to rebuild the country.
Hopefully they've given up and gone home for good - the conscripts probably have, but I worry about the hardcore types.
