....It's getting harder and harder to breathe....
Maroon 5
It appears the Iraq insurgency is bigger than we thought.
We used to believe that there were roughly 5000 guerillas in core of the group. Now we think it could be as high as 20,000. And rather than this being a loose band of unorganized outsiders we now believe that they are well organized and specialized in their attacks.
Imagine that. We invade a soveriegn nation that didn't threaten us or pose any imminent threat to our nation. We depose their dictatorship and occupy their country. We dismantle their military and civilian forces. We allow the border to become completely porous. We fail to capture the leader of the terrorist organization that murdered our citizens and we don't go after one of their main guys in Iraq. We don't provide adequate security in the streets (except for the Ministry of Oil...they're all set) and we allow all manner of lawbreaking to ensue.
And now our Department of Defense is all stunned, shocked and dismayed that there's four times the number of guys fighting us than we originally thought.
