Oh let them roll around in their "victory". This was a battle...not the war. I would much rather win the war.
Besides, more than anything it's an interlude to the coming fights in January. So yay for you...you won an interlude.
Because by January, obamacare will be fully in effect! The media won't be able to lie to people who are seeing it in real life.
Prepare for 2014 dummies.
I never even saw this as a battle proper. I saw it more as prepping the battle space, MilSpeak for recon, bombing, artillery, etc. before the main element closes with the enemy.
2014 itself is merely a battle, as is 2016, 2018, 2020, 2022...
