The unreported war will be the critical part of it, the "Phoenix" war. Which suggests that care must be taken to insure that it stays unreported.
Personally, I don't trust the U.S. media to understand what will be happening in this sphere. It's not necessarily a "bias thing"; it's an "ignorance thing".
That's exactly right, although I think that a lot of reporters who do understand will blow the operations because in their hearts they hate America and secretly wish it to lose every overseas war.
